RE: [VFB] Swedish vise dilemma II

[mark romero]

Nick, Mike Hogue (owner of www.eflytyer.com) is a very good friend of mine. 
He swears by his Danvise. Loves the thing. And i guess if it works for you, 
how could you not love it, being that the price is so low. But 
again..........one thing that looks (at least in the pic) like it would 
drive me nuts, is the complete lack of room for my left hand to get in and 
hold things. There's simply no clearence there at all. That's one of the 
main reasons i love the Law so much. Clearence galore. There's not only 
enough room for you hand, there's enough for your whole arm on a Law. You 
could actually lay your arm on it and work. I likes that. mark.....

Ok, I have a question to all of you rich of experience...
For reference I have an Eagle Rotating Vise
(http://www.jkflugfiske.com/bilder/eagle_rotating.jpg). It works for a guy
in my league, but it has draw-backs like wobbling poor-precision made 
parts.
When rotating, the screw also tightens itself, which can be really 
annoying.
(To this comes of course the Indian jaw steel quality, but that's still in
the future... it's not that old yet.)

I'm looking at a Danvise
(http://www.eflytyer.com/tools/danica_vises.html)... the polymer vise.
Retails around $80. It doesn't look bad... but that's all I know. I will
never be able to try it out before bying, which a guy with my budget would
prefer. So I turn to You! Has it got draw-backs that I might want to know
of?
Is this "chunk of plastic" worth the money?
(For those who have tried MY vise, is there $80 of satisfaction between
them?)
Thanks in advance
