In a 'former colony' :) some old British iron might be around - a nice old (pre-Irwinisation) Record or similar. I picked up a Record 34p cast steel jobby for £40 on e-bay - it looked a wreck but cleaned up nicely and is 1000% better than anything you could buy new at the price. Not sure how much you get of old US vs UK stuff in Vancouver.
I'm not snobby about import vices, they all work to a point, but after busting my old one in a self-made club-hammer related incident I went for the 34p and it is a different beast altogether. Admittedly it probably cost waayyy more new and is a different class of tool but if I were spending £50 I'd go old s/hand.
