From what I've heard you have to press buttons in Grand Slam Tennis to do certain shots but in Vitua Tennis you just do it like in real life.

If that's true then getting Virtua Tennis should be a no-brainer, right?

According to a quote from Nintendo Power (which is actually posted at the official site of Grand Slam Tennis) those buttons are optional.

“The level of finesse made possible by Wii MotionPlus even allows for purely swing-controlled lob and drop shots, whereas playing without the peripheral requires you to hold down a button during the motion.  It all works amazingly well, delivering an experience that feels far more authentic than anything else out there.” – Steve Thomason, Nintendo Power

Virtua Tennis also seems to be a bit more timing based than GST (i.e. more similar to the tennis in Wii Sports), while GST seems to take the direction of your swing. This is not confirmed though, just what some people have said.
