Again this would only be my opinion.  I use my traveler for most if not all
of my trout fly tying with the only exception being streamers.  After
yanking a few hooks out of the Renzetti at the most inopportune times (i.e.
spinning Deer hair bugs and long streamers) I bought the Dyna King.   I tie
a lot of big bugs for saltwater (up to 7/0), streamer (Carrie Stevens) and
Deer hair bugs and I've found the Dyna Kings jaws hold these very well.  I
have broken a couple hooks in this vise as opposed to pulling them out of
the vise. I personally don't like the jaws for trout hooks although they
will work well.  I have the smaller jaws also for this vice but as I already
own the Renzetti I just use it rather than switch jaws.  I had a problem
with the jaws of the Renzetti loosening up when I tried to tie large
saltwater flies and then switch to trout.  A gentleman I tie with was able
to adjust and fix it so it is probably the user.  :0)  I can't compare the
better Renzetti since I don't own that one.  I would probably buy the Dyna
King if I could only choose one.  I like it's versatility better.  I do feel
the jaw design on the Dyna King is much nicer.  Again this is just my honest
opinion.
