FWIW, I think there are still a few things that VVocal can do better or at least easier, particularly on the timing side of things.  Like the way you can grab a section between markers and stretch/compress at will.   And it does have the pencil tool.  
 
But for pitch correction/editing, and just moving individual notes (aka blobs) around, I find Melodyne to be the better choice.   And it also does some things that VVocal does not (or not as easy).  It's often more accurate/realistic to split the breath or consonant from a word and just adjust the "body" of the wave.  Easy peasy.
 

I agree as well.  I have been using Melodyne Editor for a while now, and it is an amazing tool for getting a whole vocal track in tune, but super fine (penciling in) of vocal pitches, especially the vocal onsets (first part of the pitched note) was far easier and more granular in V-Vocal.  The combination of the two is unstoppable for pitch editing/correcting in my opinion.  The fact that Sonar can still use an integrated V-Vocal and now comes with an integrated Melodyne seems to put it at an advantage over other DAWs.  Are there any other pitch editing tools as "finely granular" as V-Vocal? 
 
I think the granularity of V-Vocal is what often caused problems for people using it when they really needed broader brush strokes because the "fineness" of it across the board caused artifacts.  However, after the broad brush strokes have been applied with something like Melodyne, I haven't found anything on par with V-Vocal to make those minutely detailed pencil strokes on small bits of the pitched audio data.  Just my $.02.  The bottom line is that Sonar rules, and having access to both of these tools has been indispensable in my studio!
 
Keep up the good work Cakewalk (Development)!

Agreed.  Surgical things done with the pencil (Curve Tool) are pretty cool.
