They aren't really physically that large; just keep 'em both! No regrets that way... Maybe stack 'em - Champ Stack!

Nice, the one thing I noticed is being the VC and the Bronco are kind of the same amp, I see it is in a different size cabinet, does the bronco have a 8" or 6" speaker

The Bronco is equipped with a 8-inch alnico Oxford.

They must squeeze that thing in there, as the cabinet looks so much smaller than the VC

That VC has an aftermarket cab. Loaded with a 10-inch speaker. Here's an OEM cab:

Correct -- the Vibro Champ and the Bronco are identical amps, save for the front panel and the tube chart (the first production Bronco's actually had VC tube charts because Fender's graphics department didn't have the proper ones prepared in time for the amp's debut).
