VC will be cheaper for one. Soundtrack a million times better, too. But DS is portable and introduces the action button seen in later Ys. The translation by Atlus is, with all due respect to the original, the definite one. Graphics are so-so and I'd take Turbo's spritework over ugly 3D DS graphics anyday. So it all boils down to whether you want portable castration or couch potato perfection. Tough call. VC will be cheaper for one. Soundtrack a million times better, too.
