Does the VC have a splinter forend, or a wrap around? Most of the newer doubles, like the Heym and Chapuis seem to have gone to the wrap around style for some reason. I prefer the splinter forend of the Merkel myself. It is more like the English doubles in feel and pointability.
If I recall correctly, I believe it was more of a wrap-around. What I did notice more about the forend was that on the Merkel, it was a bit tricky to snap back into place (pinched my palm, in fact), whereas the button-system on the VC was very easy and smooth.
