It's doing ok, but I think it will fall on its ass with treble the traffic.
The biggest problem is probably the asp.net and database requirements.

We offered VPS for a while. We thought it was a something that would be a great addition, but it wasn't accepted as well as we thought it would be.
Sandman suggested it was the poor mans dedicated. We did not really see it that way. More of a powerful virtual plan.
My experience (as limited as it was) was that a VPS sometimes had more limitations than a virtual because the resources, while your own, were set in stone (ie: inodes).
Granted, resources can be adjusted up on a VPS, but I think that is more like the upsell to a VPS plan. Kind of like a hosting company that gets you in with cheap rates only to kill you on the bandwidth overages.
That being said, I can see how 1000 - 1500 visitors at one time is probably going to be too much for your standard VPS plan, which is why I suggested you were ready for a dedicated.
