I had a VS 250. I fished it for 2 years and then sold it. I had some mild disatisfaction with it because of failure of the seals. Keep in mind I spend close to 40 years in the surf with 704/706 Penns.
Well, I am back in the surf again after a 3 year hiatus and am happy to say that last fall I fished an old 704 without issue. Now I am too old to be wet suiting around and swimming to rocks so the 704 works fine. I also bought a used 850 on flea bay that I love and my Calcuttas when I am throwing conventional. I cannot see a reason to buy another VS. Hell, I have over 100, 40s on 704s.
