I have no experience with Honjos (other than ogling them from afar), but have installed VO's on a number of my own bikes and friend's bikes. I would say that for the price, VO's are great looking and pretty darn easy to install. It may just be my experience, but I've had an easier time installing VO's than SKS fenders. If you want the bling factor or a specific custom fit, go for the Honjos, but you really aren't missing out on much by going with the VO's. I have never been disappointed with their looks, install or functionality. I'm not sure if I'd ever really need to spend the extra on the Honjos unless I had some cash and decided I wanted to support them on principle of their craftsmanship and tradition.
RE: "budget" - I would say that some VO parts can be a little "budget" feeling or rather are more affordable compared to vintage or MUSA gear, BUT the fenders are some of their best and well loved products. (I'm in no way maligning VO, I had a Long Haul Trucker with mostly VO bits, looked beautiful, no failures, etc.). Just my two cents!
