I do that with all the flies I buy, like the Orvis "Kenya Special" parachute adams and other standards I'd rather buy than tie. The "super glues" are definitely fly fisherman's friends. Definite must on my saltwater flies too.
As for the vise, I've only owned two in my life. A Thompson "A" back in the 70's as a beginner, and an HMH Standard I bought around 1980. That one has ended up being the vise for life. Rotates, adjustable angles, clamps anywhere, has a pedestal just in case, holds 6/0 to 24's (I'll never use a hook smaller than 18 for the rest of this life!)
