I'm using https://github.com/nsidc/vagrant-vsphere and I'm actually using it on a vcenter host (contrary to what I said). It's working well, but it's not as fast a using a prebuilt box because it starts with the template as you said ( and then clones it to a vm). Thanks for the info on Packer, it looks like I can create a box with that.
