Our hobby is for the most part inexpensive, find the vise you want, buy it, tie on it, take care of it and when you pass on give it to your favorite fishing partner, grand kid, charity. Don't try to justify it to your self, wife, kids, or us. If it makes you happy, go for it. If you spend more time with a bobbin than a rod in your hand it will probably be a more expensive vise than your rod, so be it. Just don't over think it, its a lifetime investment.
