This is another style of free vice that would solve the jaw lift issue. Much more substantial but could be scaled down as required.:

I've also thought about perhaps butchering one of the import quick release toolmakers vices for the moveable side, but haven't looked in any detail to see whether its actually practical. They can be had pretty cheap and would save a fair bit of construction work.
