Thats bullocks. The VN straps are HEAPS HEAPS better than the rep ones - its real croc and soft as anything (more softer and comfy than some strap makers on here thats for sure and I've bought from most of them). For $30 bucks its a very very good deal. Of course though dont compare a $200 to a $30-$40 dollar strap.
Things are obviously subjective mate. I found vn quite bad. If u like it then good for u
