I don't have first hand experience with VHO. That said, I have heard that the VHO's have a much nicer actinic bulb available to them. That's about the only reason I could see staying with VHO's. T5's now have a MUCH larger range of bulb colours out there which would allow you to add bulbs like the fiji purple, etc.
I'm guessing it's an icecap 660 ballast? I know you can run either VHO or T5HO on those, I wonder if you could do 1 pair of each and get the best of both worlds.

If I were looking at a main lighting source instead of actinic supplementation, there would not even be a question here and i would go t5's for sure.... But I have to say, I am very impressed with these old school lights, even with only 1 bulb on over my 24" deep tank it's so bright and colors are just jumping off the live rock... I actually had a couple long days and didnt wind up getting hom from work the last couple until 730 or so... 830 is bed time....lol Plus, I'm afraid if I go to your house and see your tank in person I'll just be so jealous that I just might quit the hobby...
