The difference is that VANOS adjusts the cam timing using the cam gears, while VTEC actually switches to a different cam profile.

gotcha... how does ivtec compare?

Right, although I believe the cam phasing portion of i-VTEC (which Honda calls VTC) is not continuously variable and is only on the intake cam. If you look at a Double-VANOS motor is has continuously variable timing on both cams.
