As alot of my shots will be hand held it would be very interesting to compare the 2 hand held with VC on on the VC version.

If you want the maximum resolution, you either want a tripod or you want a short exposure time, where the latter resembles the former for sufficiently short exposure times. VC will help neither on a tripod nor for millisecond exposures.
If you want to take hand-held shots with medium shutter times, the resolution is certainly not limited by the optical design and the VC version will definitely be helpful.
Decide which of the two is your use case and then get one or the other lens. But hand-held MTF measurements are certainly nonsense.
