VC200L is a VISAC optical system. ( VIxen Six-order Aspherical Cassegrain )
VMC is a Vixen Maksutov Cassegrain.
Simply, the VC200L has a corrector setup inside the primary baffle tube to correct the field, where as the VMC200L has a corrector lens just behind the secondary mirror... It is a modified Mak Cass, rather than having a corrector plate that covers the entire open aperture of the OTA, the secondary is held in place by a spider, and the corrector covers the entire aperture of the secondary mirror, greatly reducing dew problems commonly associated with the Mak Cass type scopes.
Both give stunning images, although its been said on many forums that the VMC is more suited to visual astronomy than the VC, both are at home in an astrophotography setup
