Hi I notice you purchased already I was going to recommend looking into a kurt DL double lock vise or clone. I have a small Dl and it allows you to have
a large choice of setups and or multiple work locations as well as being able to be set on side or end etc. with great accuracy.
As for the slop in the movable jaw you want slop if you look at how a kurt vise works they have a wedge between the jaw and the screw that pulls the jaw down as you tighten the part and the slop allows for some squareness variation. most kurts have an allen adjustment on the back side of the movable jaw section that allows you to adjust just how much slop is in the jaw.
my experience with kurt vises has proven they are well worth the money..
