Default built b20v turbo vs b20 turbo...opinions needed

Ok, so the origional project was just a B20V, i haven't bought the head or any of the vtec required parts to convert it, after lots of thought ive decided to build it and go boost, my dilema now is since im building it for turbo, i know vtec will still work, but is it really worth it spending the extra money for a head and all that crap for vtec or just stick with non-vtec?

Big difference in efficiency and power b/w the two. don't be lazy, do it correctly. And SMOG is out of the question.
