On the end of my bench, I have a large front vise that came with collets (it's the German made version of this);

Now I want to get another vise for the side of my bench. I'm looking at the quick release large vises, and they don't have collets.

Does anyone have experience with both? Is there a loss of support without the collets, or are the collets just a hold-over from a bygone era?
Thanks,
Greg
