Variable Precision Rough Computing is certainly a better tool than Rough Computing. But, I could not find more research papers on VPRS. What are the drawbacks in VPRS?
This is a good question with many paths to follow in looking for answers.
A recent study of variable precision rough sets (VPRS) and its application is given in
B. Griffiths, A Variable Precision Rough Set Theory Decision Support System: With an Application to Bank Rating Prediction, Ph.D. thesis, Cardiff University, 2008:

See Chapter 2, starting on page 22, for an introduction to VPRS. Two useful Propositions introduced by W. Ziarko are given in Section 2.3, starting on page 40.
A good place to look is
K. Thangavel, Q. Shen, A. Pethalakshmi, Application of clustering for feature selection based on rough set theory approach, AIML Journal 6, 2006, no. 1, 19-27:
