Different audience.

VMS on x86-64 is interesting to people who are already know about and are interested 
in OpenVMS. 

VMS on VAX is interesting to people who like vintage computers and at that particular 
point in time may have no other interest in or knowledge of VMS beyond "its what the 
VAX was built to run". OpenVMS VAX would be the foot in the door - you've tried the
classic VAX version, why not give the latest and greatest x86-64 version a go with
all these new features?
