I can manage my vps better but never trying a dedicated

Is it self-managed or managed? A VPS is just a portioning of the disk space.

Long and short, the management should be essentially the same in most respects.

That was my gist. If moving from managed VPS to self-managed dedicated because of similar costs that would be a big deal. Unless you are good at managing.

self-managed

So if you managed your own VPS not much different.

Well a portioning of the host resources.

Biggest difference for most users is reboot time.

Depending on the equipment a dedicated can take minutes longer for hardware detection and quick scan, DRAC card diags, memory scan if enabled, drive detection and scan depending on setup etc, whereas a virtual could easily boot in under a minute depending on setup.

I'd agree, of course, but rebooting is not an issue one would encounter terribly often. I work with two dedicated servers, and I can't think I reboot them more than a few of times a year to fix a glitch or apply a kernel update.
