The ones on anvilfire with the plate you can stand on are dynamically  
stable .
Zero tendency to move when twisting something if you are on the plate.

The other is combined with my swage block stand and is much more stable.  It is made of very heavy angle iron and is on wheels.  The stand, (Saltfork) swage block and vise all together probably weigh 125-150 lbs.  I'm sorry I don't have photos to show you.
