I suspect you'd find the slot in the middle would be a nuisance, and much better at the back. If you set your vice down 12mm -15mm from the top, you can put cover strips on top of the cheeks which will save the accidental tool "dings". On a similar open bench like this I inset a strip of Spur shelf support down the right leg so a short bracket can be set at any height if you need to hold large boards, doors etc.
There are loads of threads and YouTube video's on bench builds - I apologise if I'm telling you things you have already seen or know.
