The bench before this last bench had a wagon vise, the ones before that had several different single or twin screw metal vises. As I planned this bench build I realized the only times I had used the wagon vise were when it was new and then only to try it out, a new toy don'tchknow. I made the decision to leave the vice in the tail position off the new build. The new bench has been in use for well over a year and not once have I thought "Gee whiilkers I wish I'd included a tail vise".
As always with all things wood....YMMV. Here's a photo of the bench in use where a tail vise might be used. I think the use of a batten and holdfast is better but...see above .
