Default Good Quality Drill Press Vice

Good evening all!

I am looking to buy a new good quality drill press vice to replace my crap Clarke £10 vice.

Im happy to spend up to £50 on a new high quality vice. It needs to be 75+ mm jaw width and have a sheet metal step built into it and obviously be of good quality to mean that it will last the rest of my life time.

I have the opportunity to buy a Irwin Record 413 75mm vice for £40 delivered

It is pretty much brand new, but it doesnt seem to have a sheet metal step, only a pipe v, would this be any good for holding 3mm plate?

I have also seen a good looking 100mm SOBA heavy duty vice with a sheet metal step built in:

Finally there is the axminster vice for £33 (axminster is around the corner from me):

Could anyone advice me on which vice to get to give me the best performance and will last me the longest?
