If you get a Wilton, you won't have to worry about buying another vise.
I have a 6 1/2" Wilton Tradesman at my shop at home and it is great. At work (Drilling Rig/Oilfield) we have two 8" Wiltons. I've never seen one break, and the company I work for has them on every drilling rig I've ever worked on. Even at work with 48" Pipe wrenches and cheater bars making up large pipe fittings, beating on them with hammers, and all kinds of other dumb stuff. At worst maybe a set of jaw inserts every now an then, but that's it.
I will add I also have a 4" Yost vise in my shop at home and it is a handy little dude, but it's limited on what you can do because it is fairly small.
