I was in your same position about a month ago. Instead of buying everything individually and possibly not having something I bought a kit from Bass Pro that is aimed at bass. Comes with all the tools ( vice, scissors etc) and materials and DVD with instructions for 6 different flies. For $100 it's not a bad way to get started.

Not to say that isn't a good idea, but my first rod was a $79 combo that collects dust now. I will fly fish for the rest of my life. I know if I get a cheaper vise then I'll be looking to upgrade in a year. My second rod was a Scott Meridian 
That said, with a vise it seems like ease of use and durability would be what really separates a $100 vise from a $200 vise. I don't like the idea of a "starter" something anymore when I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy the activity. I'm not looking to buy a Ferrari, but would rather a Lexus than a used Pontiac if that makes sense.
How have you liked the bass pro set so far? Do you think you'll upgrade in the future?
