I have them both. Both laid out with layout #1 - about 4 x 4.
I like to use the VG as the 1st ball out of the bag on fresh. When I start losing carry, I pull out the VE and it works very well on the broken down condition.
Used that formula last night on the USBC Red pattern and shot 697.
For me, the VG is more predictable on the fresh than the VE. The VE's backend is very strong and, as you move in, the VE becomes a beast - a controllable beast.
