actually, i didn't like what i heard of vbap so far, but it does work as 
advertised, even under very adverse conditions. unless we have franz 
zotter's partial sphere magic firmly in place for all workflows, *and* 
there are kick-ass, fool-proof automatic ambisonic decoder generators 
for even the most pathological speaker layouts, vbap sure has its place.
