I disagree, Turnbull. I think Vito is Bonanno just about all the way. There are similarities with Costello and others for sure. For one, the name change. Costello's was originally Castiglia (but he was Calabrese, I believe, not Sicilian like Vito) like Vito's was Andolini. Yes, both were "prime ministers" so to speak, but Costello was never really a power unto himself. He attained his position throught he largesse of Luciano; Vito attained his through intelligence, cunning, manipulation, etc., etc.

Although it was Mike that moved to Nevada and not Vito, that parallels Bonanno's move to Arizona. The wedding was modeled on Bill Bonanno's marriage to Rosalie Profaci. the Rosato brothers are the Gallos who revolted against Bonanno and Pentangeli is Joe Magliocc a Bonanno ally. What do you think?
