Caution...in VS the 737 will NOT look at the speed, just chase the required VS....it will take you all the way to the barber pole trying to get the required VS. In Level Change it will hold the set MCP speed, the vertical speed can be increased using speed brakes or increasing the IAS.

AS was said in another post, going between the two can be the best option..it all adds up to mode awareness.
