Default Tube fly vice adapters

Wondering if any of you guys have any opinions on tube fly vice adapters. I have researched about half a dozen diffrent styles, looking for any recommendations. Or would it be better to simply purchase a dedicated tube fly vice? The vice I tie on now is a Griffin Odyssey Spider if that makes a diffrence towards the types of adapters.

I have a tube kit for my Nor-vice and use it most of the time but if I'm traveling I really like the HMH Tube Fly Adapter that fits in a standard vice. Not expensive and nicely built. If you want to go cheap just use a big needle in the jaws of your vice.

Thanks guys, the HMH i've had my eye on, so that's what I'm gonna pickup. Lornce, the Nor-vice is pretty interesting. Never payed it any attention before, just finished watching Mr. Norlander demoing it and the attachments on youtube, next time the wifes back is turned I think I'm gonna get one.

The nor-vice is an odd one, people seem to either love it or hate it.

nor-vice in general seems to be a "love or hate" item. I personally dont care for it but have friends that love it
