While this might be good adVICE, I am the obsessive/complusive type when it comes to hobbies/outdoors/sporting goods. All I did was to continue to upgrade. Sometimes settling into the range you are comfortable spending is the best approach. If the coin is tight, get yourself entry level. If you can afford better and you KNOW this is something you aren't going to give up in 2months, go for it. I'll be honest. A better vice makes a world of difference when it comes to comfort and ease. I currently tie on a Peak w a pedestal base and I love it. I like to be able to move my vice since there are times I am at it for hours. Being able to shift positions on occasion helps me stay at it longer.

Hope this helps.
