I had both.  The Vic 20 for a little bit in 1991, but I wanted the C64, as that is what a couple of friends had, and it had better graphics.  In particular the text mode looked much, much better than Vic 20's very blocky text.

But I do have a fondness for the Vic 20.  I have one, just needs repair.  Probably a faulty capacitor.  Back then we always wanted more, bigger, faster, better, but there is something quaint about that machine now.

I did see that Doom clone.  Fantastic!
