Since you didn't quite comprehend what was previously posted. I'll summarize for you.

Nissan VVEL, BMW Valvetronic and Toyota Valvematic achieve the same in regards to continuous lift control.

Nissan VTC, BMW Vanos and Toyota VVT achieve the same in regards to timing control.

Unless if we have the Einstein of tuning working on our platform it's safe to say that the average tuner's skills is unilaterally equal on all platforms.

O&G's result's are good and are expected since turbo's performance are highly affected by timing change when moving over from an NA setup. The exciting part is when they start changing lift, otherwise the tuning capability will be same as an HR head swap.
