I agree with Nathan about the difficulty of making comparison. I think that 
the
two just reflect how you need to choose your film/sensor characteristicsto 
give
the kind of balance you want.

The film is warmer, the sensor colder; or to be exact, the former redder, the
latter bluer. What do others know about the characteristics of VS?
