Glenn,
Neither one is any better than the other, they are just different.
I started out airbrushing with the Paasche VL and then when I got into T-shirt airbrushing I bought a Vega 2000 and ended up getting rid of the VL as I liked the feel of the Vega 2000 much better. My Vegas are the older style made by T&C and I have not tried the newer versions that Badger is producing.
Try it out and see which one you prefer. You may end up liking the Vega more or you may just want to stay with your VL.
I personally like the slim shaped airbrushes like the Vega, Anthem, Omni and others over the fatter -bodied airbrushes like the VL.

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not
to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools
for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know
how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
