The fact that the voice actresses voice is split between characters alone is bad because Len can never sound like Rin and Rin can never sound like Len. There are limitations built into the voices. If Len hadn't been added, all the voices would be Rin's and Rin would be on par with Miku and Luka in terms of the overall direction.

The main issue showed up when it came to XSY in V4, Rin and Len ended up in total having far less vocal options then Luka or Miku by 1/3 even if both were piled on top of each other and something like 1/7 on their own. I understand there is a concept here that you feel like you have two characters, but the reality if you have two half-characters, because they are split instead of one character. The same issue will likely occur with other Vocaloids whoshare voice providers if they ever have to expand.

The only thing the Kagamines have individually is being on par with Kaito V3, if not superior for having EVEC. Together their superior to Meiko and Kaito though. But the older veteran duo are STILL better singers.

At this point in time, the big issue with CFM is unlike in the V2 era we aren't in a position to say, yes, because of the Appends the CFM bunch have the highest number of HQ voices. In V5, there just are so many options that could be considered superior in different ways that discussing their vocals means that their position is much weaker.
