Threw down $150 on a new anvil and it paid for itself in a week

Picked up a 150 pound Vulcan anvil off Facebook Marketplace for $150 bucks, the face was a little rough but no major chips. Got it set up last Tuesday and I swear my nails are seating cleaner already, less vibration through my arm too. Has anyone else noticed how much a solid anvil changes your day compared to those cheap cast iron blocks?

@kevin_adams it's like buying a good knife vs a dull one. Better tools make everything easier.

Wait are we really saying a $150 anvil is making your nails seat better? I mean it's a step up from Harbor Freight but it's still an old Vulcan not some magic tool.
