H.264 main profile offers noticeably better compression than VC1, but requires about 70% more CPU power to decode. That's VERY significant for cell phones/PDAs and fairly significant for laptops. H.264 base profile compresses a little bit better than VC1, and requires a little more CPU power (~15%).
It's good to have choices.
