I don't know if it was promised but we were certainly told that the Mark II would have VR support, and I'm sure there were people who may not have purchased an Empeg unless the promise of VR pushed them over the edge. It's a huge feature for a lot of people, and it's definitely missing. I don't know if anyone has admitted they dropped the ball, but it's certainly a common gripe among MkII users.
