Of course you have to watch out for losing space. Much like the ER40 adapter I usually use in mine. I don't think I'll be doing much large work and have a fair amount of space to work with, but everyone's situation is different and one never knows what you might want to do later. Thankfully even if you are mounting the vise to the rotary table and need space, you can always remove it. You have to tram it again, but it's nice to have options.
I would be more concerned about loss of rigidity. I hear people say they don't use the swivel bases for that reason. Smaller rotary tables would seem to be a risk there as well. The 13" Walter mentioned earlier is probably fine for anything a hobby guy would ever do though.
