Velocity Scaler is different in that it adds consistent values to all velocities, meaning both loud and quiet notes increase/decrease by the same amount.
Using Drive, if you have two notes, one with a velocity of 100 and one with a velocity of 50 - If you dial in drive of 0.16 you end up with two notes, one with a velocity of 108 and the other 68 - the increase in velocity is exponential. one has an increase of 8, the other of 16
Using Velocity Scaler, if you have two notes, one with a velocity of 100 and one with a velocity of 50 - if you dial in a couple of clicks of VS you end up with velocity values of 108 and 58 - the increase in velocity is the same - 8 added to both values.
I think VS is a lot more musical for increasing intensity as you transition between song parts. Just IMHO though obviously!

Thanks for the question.
