I think the consensus is that Squier CV basses have Tonerider pickups in them (or at least they come from the same production line). I don't know about the VM basses though, they might be something completely different.
Wilkinson Jazz Bass pickups are pretty good on a budget. The set I had sounded better and were much better made than a set which came out of a MIM Standard.
If you are near a Fender dealer you can hear for yourself by comparing a US Standard to a US Deluxe/Elite set to passive mode. I've not yet tried the Elites myself.
If the VM you played was better, and cheaper than the MIM then seems like a good choice, and the £200 difference could go to covering whatever pickup change you wanted.
