Modified Nicholson ideas

I'm going to build a bench this winter as part of my shop remodel. I'm leaning toward the Nicholson bench (I know several of you have made them) but wondered if I should add a tail vise. I like Mike Siemsen's video on the ways to use it without a vise but wondered what experience you guys have had. Are there things you would do differently and why?

Thanks.

I have the Veritas inset vise in mine and I am real happy with that.  I am going to add a leg vise this summer, setting things up with the crochet is just turning out to be a little to time consuming.  I do like the over all design of the bench.
