If anybody else has a theory why VCP prices are lower than SMR prices I would love to hear it. Maybe it's a combination of factors, but I haven't heard any other theories.

I think a lot of people were ignoring SMR - I know I was. I look at VCP, ebay results, and major auction house results. So my thought is that VCP is lower than SMR because VCP reflect reality. When I see a seller mention SMR price to justify his huge mark-up over reality, I scratch my head and think, "so what?".
