Buy the Vanguard2, but don't spend the extra money on the RC version.
I know if doesn't address your question, but I can't see that the higher price equals greater value for the RC when compared to the standard Vanguard2. Vanguard2s are great shooters OOTB and for the $500+/- difference, you could buy a McMillan stock or you could opt for a B&C Medalist from Stocky's and still have around $200+/- left in your pocket. Can't think of a good reason to spend money when you don't have to or when you could spend the same amount of money and come out ahead.
My general gripe with Browning is that they will catalog a particular configuration, make a few hundred units, and discontinue without notice. The only post-FN Browning that I've wanted in years was a Ti Mountain Rifle in 25 WSSM. Never could find one at wholesale or one at retail with a price that made it worth owning.
