I prefer the clamp, for the same reasons mentioned by irish1 and Akskim,
but when travelling (espically camping) the pedestal can be very handy.

Years ago, I found a chunk of cold rolled steel, in the scrap, under
the cut-off saw of a machine shop. With a bit of drilling, tapping and,
a thumb screw, it became a pedestal base suitable for tables too thick
for the clamp on my old Thompson vice.
