I never notice any of this vibration with my Kurt swivel.
What kind of cuts do you take? I will often take a 40 thou full cut
with a 1 1/2" face mill.

I got a Chinese Kurk knock-off some years ago, it came with the swivel.
The first cut I made with it, the vise was vibrating like crazy. So, I
took off the swivel, bolted the vise directly to the table, and haven't
used it since. Unless you will always make light cuts with the swivel,
you will not be very happy with it at all. I'm not talking about a
slight vibration, I could SEE the vise rocking from side to side!
Maybe the Kurt is stiffer in some way, but I doubt it is a great
improvement on the knock-off, as cast iron is fairly cheap.
