I do not think there is a benefit to training another system if you are carrying LEM. Stick with the LEM. I do think the LEM can make you a better shooter with other easier to shoot triggers if you master it.
The VP9 is one of the stupid easiest guns in the world to shoot well. Out of the box, it is one gun I think really makes most users perform at near their highest level, consistently. It is truly a remarkable piece of work. I would never train with one in the hopes it would make my LEM shooting better. It would just discourage me.
I've personally experienced derivative benefits with other platforms/actions in conjunction with LEM use. LEM/DAO actions force, if nothing else, a more focused attention to triggerpull and the overall triggerpull/trigger control process. That pays off with other actions, at least in my personal experience.

So if anyone wants a HK P2000v2 (H-LEM) with 9 mags, gimme a holler. Round count 100. Dry fire 225.
The LEM has made me very comfortable with any kind of DAO. I can’t say that DAO translates to better LEM, however, since the DAO reset is usually fully forward. LEM is it’s own thing that I still consider an auto-decocking TDA.
I’m currently playing with a Beretta 92X, and I shoot the DA pull better than I shoot the SA in slow fire. Go figure....

I agree with you regarding the VP triggerpull (which in my case is a VP40). Although I've qualified on it for duty, the VP trigger break is much softer than the crisp break on a Glock. I usually prefer the P30L with it's LEM as a threat management tool-while the triggerpull weight/break weight is about the same (some 5.4 lbs as I recall), the longer pull distance gives you more time to get off it if a situation no longer warrents firing the gun.
While I don't consider LEM to be "unnatural" or unintuitive, especially with my 1.5 mod, it does take time to familiarize and truly master. The VP short, light pull is much less demanding and easier.

I haven't tried it. I have no doubt that it's a quality component, but now that I've got my LEM pretty much where i want it (and thanks to your help in that process), I'm working on software improvemnts (me) as opposed to additional hardware solutions. When my skill set and quantifiable results achieve an apogee, I think that would be an appropriete time for me to then re-enter more hardware into the equation to achieve further incrimental results.
And while the reset isn't quite as nearly instantaneous with forward trigger movement like on a Glock, the HK reset points on my P30L LEM (and VP40) really aren't all that egregious, at least from my perceptions.
