In fact, assuming Gaussian initial conditions, the theoretical expectation of detecting such objects is as low as =1 per cent. In this paper we discuss the probability of the existence of such objects in the light of the vector dark energy paradigm, showing by means of a series of N-body simulations that chances of detection are substantially enhanced in this non-standard framework. %~
