As you stated Managed VPS Which Involves

* cpanel installation optimization and configure it with all the security tweaks
* Firewall configuration
* Software Based DDOS protection
* Exploits/Shell Protection
* Port/IP Spoofing protection
* SSH hardening
* Apache Hardening
* 3rd Party Scripts Installation ( FFMPEG, MP4BOX, FLVTOOL2, RUBY, Etc )
* Spam Protection
* Much More...

These All features have much value then what you are saying you will get dedicated server in the same price .

Important point would be choosing a provider who doesn't oversell their Server resource where you will 99% same power as your stated dedicated server.
