I don't see the VBOX being competitive at the same price point anymore unless remote mounting is important.

VBOX gives you a camera you can mount anywhere with a remote for starting and stopping, where AIM only has one and you'd probably want to have it mounted near the driver to start and stop.
VBOX gives you a remote mic input where as AIM is fixed with the camera.
VBOX needs an extra Display Unit for Lap times (included in price)
VBOX needs another device to view the video, AIM has a tiny display.
VBOX upgrades and accessories are limited when compared to AIM.
Aim has some other features, like Wifi configuration and data logging download for a pc or iphone. Bright RPM/Shift indicators. Battery powered if needed.
Two things to add, AIM have a model with bullet camera, so you can put the main unit somewhere convenient but it support one camera only, second, it have two options for FOV (wide angle or zoom)


It depends on what you need from it, you want those fancy videos with graphics overly or only data analysis
