and we call all brands of Tissue "Kleenex" even though "Kleenex" is a trademark of Kimberly-Clark. Of course Kleenex has not lost a recent court case for price fixing either like the NAR just did. Not sure what this has to do with the OPs post.

To answer the OP, I will have a house to sell in 2027, and I am highly torn. I bought a new house in 2014 from VLS after looking at existing homes with MLS AND VLS. My experience was that the VLS agent did not push either and showed me everything I wanted. He even pointed out the upgrades in the existing homes. I bought my second (rental) FSBO. They look like they both sell about the same number. I think the location and the price are the main things no matter who you use. I always wonder how many people do a lifestyle visit and never talk to an MLS agent.......
