The big question is whether the VGs are really that much of an advantage.
It all depends on the type of flying you do and what you consider important. Where VG's shine is if you are flying higher density altitudes doing tight, short field work mostly on dirt or grass strips where you are primarily flying in the lower part of the green arc. If all of your flying is zipping cross country off of 7,000' paved runways at sea level, then they do offer some added insurance at those rare times you may happen to get lazy, low and slow but mostly they would be something to catch your rag on when washing the airplane.
