I too am considering vises for my new workbench. What do you mean by "the
ability to clamp between a fixed and moving dog?"
Thanks in advance
Dave

Question now is -- which vice do I use as the tail vice?

Big one on the front as the face vice.

I see no usefulness in tail vices. What's sometimes useful is a "notch
in the front edge" vice, which could be emulated by a small tail vice,
so long as the jaw edge is flush with the bench's long edge.

What I really find most useful on my bench (a Tage Frid) isn't the
vices, but the ability to clamp between a fixed and moving dog. My
next bench will have two rows of dog holes.
