Scary thought - what if as rictor suggest they offred two versions: surely the most horrible though for a variant ever. I really hope the variant bad-wagon isn't hopped aboard by VEI to the extent that some books/publishers are wont to do...
Incentives yes, variant on everything? No, please no. And please no VALIANT vision! As Rufusharley pointed out, it undermines good work by colourists.

If I remember correctly, VALIANT discontinued the use of VALIANT Vision due to cost, which is why starting with the fourth issue only the covers on Psi-Lords were done with the process while the interiors weren't.
According to the guide, Psi-Lords #4 had a print run of 60,000 units.
If they couldn't afford the process with that number of sales, I don't think VEI could do it now.
Apparently in order to afford the process they need to sell around 100,000 units.
