Which Circuit board vise is better? Panavise or Weller?

The Panavise is cheap and is for small boards and then I saw the Weller Circuit Board Vise which lets you rotate your board 360 degrees but I don't know if it works with small boards. It looks like it is for medium boards.

Maybe there is a third option.

I have seen all sorts out there. There are the expensive - robust versions, and then theres the cheap and nasty.

When it comes down to it, any of them will work, it's just a matter of how much you want to spend.

Actually I have two of those and I rarely (if ever) use them. The base is so small that it falls over when I put any decent size board on it. The magnafying glass is pretty much useless as well.
