Smile Vice Recommendation Needed

I'm relatively new to fly tying and when I started I bought myself a kit which included a fairly cheap vice (not sure of the brand). It doesn't really hold the fly tightly enough and I'm looking to buy a quality replacement.

If anybody was able to recommend a decent vice that would be greatly appreciated.

Have a look at the the vosseler vice mate, pricey but wonderfully engineered
and a pleasure to use, i think they are on the fishtec website.

Does the suction base keep them firm on the bench? Have looked at them and they do seem to be quite clever..

The suction cup is superb, it holds the vice rock solid, i actually bought one of those small marble chopping boards for £5 and stick it to that, it has never come loose
