The two different versions appear to two different use cases, the first one appears to be split controller configurations, i.e. a dual controller array spread over distance. The second one appears to be with Storage Virtualisation Devices in front of the storage, hence the array type is listed as SVD. In either case though Metro clustering is all that is supported, Geo isn’t supported by either EMC or VMware by the looks of it.
Might need still a comment / hint in the selection box as others might get confused as myself.

Hello everybody,
got a hint from Craig on my question - our support matrix is the reference: L (Local) and M (Metro) ar supported G (Geo) isn't for stretched clusters: http://elabnavigator.emc.com/vault/pdf/EMC_VPLEX.pdf
Regarding the HCL "bug":
