Your situation does makes sense. I have said over and over that VR would be okay IF we were paid a couple cents a line less, not 50% less, which in my case is 4 cpl. I could see dropping down to 6 cpl or even 5.5, but this 4 cpl is really hard to make any money on. There are just way too many corrections to be made. I am on Escription, so I guess I have what is considered to be the best, although I would beg to differ on that. I suppose it depends on the account, dictator, etc.
