Guys, he already has the V-Guitar! Ridiculously more capable and dangerously more complex than either of these two boxes. Also, it's very unlikely Richard is going to sell his favorite thing ever, to try something else.

Richard,

I guess the only advice I would have would be to pick 3 or 4 signature/classic tones and fully develop your understanding of the V-guitar simulation for those tones - experiment, experiment, experiment. Then branch off.

When I played with my bosses V-guitar, I was overwhelmed. It was great fun to mess around with, but I can see it would take some serious 'woodshedding' just with that box, to learn how to take advantage of the nuanced controls available with the pickup and box. The same is true for all of the V-instruments from Roland. A guy here at work has his V-Drum kits very dialed in. If you are at NAMM or MusikMesse this year, stop by the Westone booth and talk to Kris the drummer. Roland has even approached him and said something along these lines: "You get a better sound out of our instrument than our own people.", something of which Kris is very proud. But it took many years of development and tweaking for him to get to that point.

Have fun with the V-guitar - just remember to get some practice in as well. To me, I shy away from it because I could see myself getting lost (in a fun way) in the technology and possibilities.
