This bench was made (hell) 4 years ago. It's primary purpose was to bring the work into focal distance of my "computer/reading" glasses and stop me from stooping bringing on that bad back I'm fortunate enough not to have, yet.
It was made to provide anchors for my H & T Gordon vises... Could easily be substituted by a moxon style vise...
It's main features are (over the "traditional" moxon (if there's such a thing), it has a reasonable height and length to handle those in between jobs... and most are in between... though mine have graduated into the tiny size.
I probably wouldn't mount a vise on it but resort to this Stanley vise,
