We are looking at purchasing a vise and even though we don't have a microscope yet I don't want to have to buy twice. I do understand the taller the vise the bigger the swing and faster out of focus the item being engraved will be. But the smaller low profile vises are way less weight and from what I have been reading isn't weight a key? Is weight less of a factor due to a lower verticle center of gravity of the low profile vise?
Something else I guess I should add is I may not be able to use a microscope at all. I wear glasses with a high astigmatism and am heavy right eye dominate. I have never had a problem with our Nikkon binoculars due to the eyepieces having enough relief for folks that wear corrective lenses.
