+1 for this question.

In the brochure, it suggests surface irregularities are ironed out with VDC but no-one seems to gave driven and reported back on VDC Normal vs no VDC. I decided against purely because people that have bought with no VDC reported a smooth ride.

If you can, I think the only way you'll you'll find out for sure is to find two demonstrators, with and without, and see if there is a noticeable difference.

I think the ride would feel more smooth (and you would get better fuel economy) by having 17" non run flats than you would in VDC Normal mode and 18"/19". They just won't look as good!
