If Kina Lillet was more bitter then I can't imagine how that would improve the Vesper. Even Ian Fleming, who invented the Vesper in Casino Royale, later wrote that he regretted it and found the drink "unpalatable." I've tried making it with Lillet Blanc and Cocchi Americano. I'm not sure I'd agree that it's unpalatable, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to a non-James Bond fan or add it into my regular rotation.
