I test drove both the Apex and the Peak. Was not impressed by the Apex because it was kind of crude. Adjustability was so so, had a lot of play. The business end of the Anvil looks a lot like the Apex. At that price point I would take a good look at the Danvise. Yes, some Danvise components are made of plastic (Delrin) but the thing is quite well-made. I'd prefer that one over both the Apex and the Anvil any day. The Peak is even better. If I had to choose it would be the Peak!
