I own all three (though my Honjo's are on the shelf), the toe-overlap on the fronts are real with the VO. when i got mine the VO were only single eye drilled (at one point i think they were undrilled) so swapping in the Berthoud stays meant drilling your own holes. Now that the VO are pre-drilled with 2 holes, not sure if they holes would line up, does anyone have experience doing this exact combo?
I feel like the berthoud are heavier duty, seem to rattle less (but that could be a function of my poor install skills), but i can't complain about the durability of the VO, even though i bump them into things all the time! Personally i'd go with whatever is most important to you, toe-overlap then berthoud, but if you want a certain look like hammered, or faceted etc, then VO. Honjo's are great but man they are so crazy expensive!
