I have used all of the listed vices and have several different vices. About five years ago I switched to a Nor-Vise and have not looked back.

I tie almost every day and tie everything from small stuff through saltwater and a lot of full--dress Atlantics and speys.

There is nothing you cannot do on the Nor-Vise and there is a lot you cannot do on each of the other listed vises. Especially on large articulated flies it is a huge speed advantage.

The Regal only allows you to look at the back side, it is not a true rotary vise.

The LFS sells a lot of Regals but they have them ground at the factory with a longitudinal slot in the jaws to hold shanks.
