Which repo [virtualbox (Oracle) or rpmfusion] should one use?
Is Oracle simply a more up-to-date repo? Does rpmfusion packages actually fetch
the Oracle rpm, or is rpmfusion a separate, full build?

The size difference is significant:
     rpmfusion    VirtualBox-5.2.8-2.fc26.x86_64.rpm             8.1MB
     virtualbox    VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.8_121009_fedora26-1.x86_64.rpm    69  MB

If the two are different: if I change to use the rpmfusion repo, will the VMs 
be compatible?

TIA

Anyone? Should be an easy question for someone who knows?
