Can Substance Player make purchasing the Visual Essential combination now on sale unnecessary or do they both (potentially) offer
a sufficiently different features to warrant a separate purchase of both? Thanks!

There certainly is some overlap, but they are distinctly different.
If you you are interested and your budget can accommodate it, I think you'd be quite happy to have both.

(It is past my bedtime, but I could add more detail tomorrow if you'd like, provided someone else doesn't do so while I'm asleep.)
