Which one to buy
Vega VHSH42 costs ₹599 against ₹697 for Vgr V596, a real gap of ₹98 (16%). That is enough to matter, and big enough to survive the usual day-to-day price movement on both listings.
The ratings pull against the price here. Vgr V596 is the more expensive of the two yet scores 4.3★ to 4.1★, so the premium is buying something buyers evidently notice. Whether it is worth ₹98 depends on how much that difference matters to you.
Both products carry an MRP mismatch: the listings we track show different maximum retail prices for each of them. Since MRP is printed on the pack, at least one displayed figure per product does not match it, so the discount on either listing is calculated from a number we cannot verify. Compare the rupee prices above and disregard both percentages.
The ₹599 figure is on Amazon, and is the lowest we observed across every listing we track for it. Prices on both products move often enough that it is worth opening each listing before deciding.
