I need a new valve cover gasket set for my 07 ex, but the the gasket labeled for the VCM engine is cheaper. What's the difference between the VCM and non VCM gasket sets?

VCM and Non VCM are different engines. One would reason that they use diffferent valve cover gaskets. Go to the dealer and ask to see both sets side by side.
Only a tech who works on both engines can tell you whats different about them.

The Non-VCM models can use (2) of the part 12030-RGL-A01 for front and rear bank. (One for each respectively)

The VCM Models use (1) of the part 12030-RGL-A01 and (1) of the part 12351-RDV-J00; This is because the VCM Models account for the Ivtec solenoid assembly on the valve cover with a large notch on the rear cylinder head.
