As an avid fly tyer I find there are pro's and cons to each style. I tye
in a lot of shows and also I use to travel on business, I could not
always find a place to clamp my vise onto. Also until I finally had a
fly tying room I was afraid to use the clamp thus ruining the furniture
and creating an issue with my wife and an extra expense for me. Now I
tye on a Renzetti master with a salt water base and love it. The bad
side to base vises is that you really have to look and feel and try the
base model. Some of the models I tried I felt the base moved to easy
when I needed to apply tension specially on Bass Bugs. I had a renzetti
travler that I used to use for camping and shows. What I did was to buy
the sal****er base that made this issue a non issue. Either way, base
or clamp is fine. It all boils down to do you want your vise mobile
meaning to go on trips and such or do you tye most of the time at home
and hardly take it out with you. Lastly on nice days, I do tye on
streamside so a small portable table and a base vise suites me
perfectly. Just in case you are curious, my renzetti presentation 4000
was replaced by the renzetti master. The presentation 4000 replaced the
traveler. I have only seen the new vise you are talking about buying and
have not tried one. Renzetti makes a quality product and I expect this
vise to live up to their standards. Hope this helps.
