I will also tell you welcome to the addiction. Handle all the vises you can before you buy. BPS handles a few and some legwork will pay off on this in a big way. Ebay has some deals sometimes, but it's still ebay and you can't handle before you buy. A rotating vise is a plus, and I use mine every time I tie, as in wrapping chenille. Lots of quality vises, and lots of cheap look a likes. With a good vise, it's money in the bank. Should you change your mind and want out, you can sell it and recover the majority of the investment, not so with cheaper ones. I started with Maribou and became comfortable with that and moved on from there. You'll never stop learning with this or saying "Wow, I never thought of that."
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
