Early production runs of the gun had issues with the front sight coming off, but from what I've read they addressed that on subsequent runs. I know I've had mine for several months and have put 500 rounds or so through it with no issues.
That said, I sort of wish I hadn't paid what I did for mine. At the time, a standard M&P 9 was $200 less, but I really loved the FDE finish. I still like it, but sometimes I wish I'd picked up the standard M&P 9. Are you sure the triggers are the same in the two guns? I'd always read (and heard in online reviews) that the trigger was the same in the standard M&P and the VTAC, but that the Pro had the performance center trigger.
Is there any way you can try out both to see which you prefer shooting? If so, that's the best way to make up your mind.
