Can you be more specific about the lots of problems that UTAU has? It doesn't have a phoneme input dictionary like Vocaloid does, but I think that allows for more flexibility in controlling the pronunciation. I know Vocaloid preserves accents, but sometimes their accents make some phonemes sound like they're being pronounced wrong so you have to replace it with another one that sounds more like the American way of pronouncing it. It doesn't happen as much with the British Engloids but it's noticeable with Sweet Ann and Japanese Engloids (except Miku who doesn't count because she was recorded with a forced American accent). Meanwhile in UTAU as long as the voicebank itself is recorded right according to the reclist it sounds like how that word, in the voice provider's accent, would be pronounced.
