Hey Bob - if I didn't have the moxon permanently fixed, I would go with just the 2 chops as well. And like you say, I would find a place to hang it up, out of the way, and not have it collecting dust etc under the bench. Besides, the under the bench storage is for all that other important stuff we don't have a place for.
It would be cool to have the moxon built into the bench with a mechanism to raise and lower it. Perhaps small hydraulic pistons. And the screws sticking out the back or front would be a problem as well, so the chops would have to be small pistons as well. Or maybe small scissor jacks. But I digress.............
Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
