I have a mix of a roubo and an anarchist bench. I use the leg vise way more than I ever thought I would, and bench dogs are king for me. The tail vise gets a fair amount of use too. I didn't add a sliding deadman to mine, and I regret it (I have some dog holes in the right leg, but want some closer for smaller stuff). Its my first bench, so I've learned a bit making it as well as using it, so maybe in 5 years I'll make an updated one (which should go easier since I'd have a bench to build the bench on lol)
