Is the deluxe version actually better than the original one and is it worth the extra money?

I would say, yes, but like so many things it depends on what you are looking for. What I mean is that my workmate is at the heart of my limited space so we aren't just looking at a large jaw to hold whatever. I have a 6" vice clamped to the back board of the Workmate and 4 x Irwin 300Ib clamps and 2 x Irwin 600Ib clamps as additions. So, with all the holes to drop chisels in the unit becomes a bench for all types of work . . . making it a work horse. I mention the above for those only thinking of the basic use when a Workmate is so much more. This unit has the lifting front which might be of use in the future. The one handed thingy is ok but not too reliable . . . something I'm not bothered about. More important: No problem tightening the jaws if you move your index finger around the shank and not try and snap the orange handle off by putting all pressure just on that . . . although replacements are cheap enough. With its splayed legs the unit is as solid as a rock when planing. Summing up: If you want a Workmate which is going to be thrashed around a work site buy a cheaper one. If you are looking for the beginnings of your work system buy this one. P.S. Yes, I have read the comments about the build quality of the steel section but haven't a clue what they are talking about.

How do I assemble the top sections. there apears to be no place to screw the rear section to and no reses in the frount board to alow for the coller o

Is this strong enough to hold wood block tight and carve?

It is my belief that this product would be strong enough to hold a wood block for carving purposes. We managed to assemble the B/D Workmate and had some help from a YouTube clip. I am pleased with my Workmate and it sees quite a bit of service.

Can anyone comment on whether you can rest (or need to) your foot on the bottom horizontal support to enhance the sturdiness? Thanks.

Hi there , I find you need to when sawing with a hand saw , Although the cross members are only a couple of mm they are folded & held in place with 4 nuts & bolts each . I hope this helps
