Matt, the big vice has a bigger face and opening. I know the specs only indicate it’s a couple inches bigger opening but there has been numerous occasions when that would have been very useful for me and because the item wouldn’t fit the vice I end up having to jerry rig some way of clamping. Basically you can clamp bigger wider boxes, boards etc. remember your workbench is just a big clamp, the bigger the vice the more options you have.
Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the medium, I’m not dissapointed in my vice at all, it’s served me well, but for an extra, what is it 20 bucks? it’s just not much more money for something you’ll have for the rest of your life. I’ve been saving my pennies and will probably buy one this winter and install my medium at the end of my bench.
You won’t regret spending the extra 20 dollars for the large one.
