Wow...first world problems!
Assuming you haven't listened to them both or in similar rooms/systems... Both are in general, wonderful. One consideration is placement and room size. The SFs are significantly wider profile and would probably benefit being on the longer wall. The VAs are slim-ish and with the adjustable angle on the top portion adaptable to many a situation. Perhaps a better fit if you're committed to a short-wall placement, which makes a deeper soundstage easier to achieve.
I think the SFs are among the most beautiful speakers made, but based on limited listening at different dealers, the VA is the one I'd prefer to live with, YMMV. I suggest listening with eyes closed so the looks of the SF wouldn't sway me. They are both fine speakers for sure. Cheers,
Spencer
