If you plan on a track day here or there then sure, the VLSD will help. I planned on the OSG myself which is why I got the base model to begin with. To each their own. But for daily driving even the VLSD is nearly pointless.

ive not driven the open diff Z so can't say for sure, but as long as your suspension is tuned to your car and your tires, it should be able to compensate for the limitation for street use.
ive had cars in the past where open diff was very obvious and problematic when driving out of a sharp quick turn. but i was able to reduce it considerably by planting the car better using swaybars and some suspension tuning, offset changes.
that said, some folks go all out with suspension mods without considering the VLSD, VDC, ABS program. they all work with the dynamics of the car so if you do dramatic changes without much thought, it will make the car drive worse and slower...
another reason why ive not changed much of the car this time around.
