Cool, I was going to tell you that I got my X-Y vise at Harbor Freight. I have a vise similar your's but you can not bolt it down. I use it all the time. Thought I could help.
what do you mean by run out on a vise? flatness? Jaw rise on clamping?
I will have to check the condition of a Kurt I'm not using...
yeah they are great vises although I haven't used hard steel jaws in ages. I do have a small surface grinder to make them flat if needed.
Buy a used older Kurt and rebuild it if needed. The rebuild kits are reasonable.
I went with a Kurt clone years ago--it was W-A-Y off of flat and parallel.
Luckily I had access to a surface grinder.
Thinking of picking up a small Kurt now for pistol slide work---
