On the hard break in versus soft:
I was under the impression that the "softer" break in was to save the rings and cylinder bores (more even wear). If you're hard on the engine to "break in" the VVT units, you are by default sacrificing the cylinders. I would rather save the cylinders get the CEL and wait for top end to work itself out.
