The Novarossi is a better value, IMO. I'm also guessing the Novarossi will outlast the VG.
I like OS V-Spec engines (see my current sig), but I personally wouldn't buy the VG model. It seems to be an OS in name only, as if there is little/no lineage to the V-Spec.
The Novarossi N21B has rave reviews. Amainhobbies.com can't seem to stock them fast enough to keep up with demand for them.

I'm telling you right now to scratch the VG right off your list. You must not have done any research on it (don't worry I didn't either - I figured it was an OS 
) Absolutely one of the worst performers for the money and will not last you very long. 95% of the engines that price on the market will be a 100% better choice. Dig a little deeper or just trust me 
By the time you have your last answer here from everyone else I guarantee they will have you buying the NR. Good luck

I am a former VG owner. Power wise its is about 50-60% of a vspec. I did a wheelie with it my old Mugen. I had it rebuilt twice by OS under the 2yr warenty before selling it. It lasted it 2 gallons each time. When say rebuilt they replace the piston and sleeve and rear bearing. I would go with the Novarossi.

No comparison between the two. VG is junk, nova is an awesome budget engine. I myself love OS's other engines(v-spec based), but the vg just doesn't cut it. It lacks power and has horrible lifespan. It is not even an ABC constructed engine. I would stay away from roto start though. Much better to get a bump box. Roto starts only add a place for failure and rob power.
