There are differing views on this and I don't know which one is right. One view is that as long as you are relatively close to the speakers a VP100 will be fine -- the other view is that room reflections (ie off-axis energy coming back to you) makes the distance from the speakers a non-issue in most rooms. I still lean to the first view -- I think it's a function of room width but not 100% sure.

Personally I think the VP100 will be fine.
