Funny enough, I used to think the same thing until I bought the product.

Adding on to Angel's comment, I still think there is an issue with the CV02 and CV03 V4X releases on voicebanks based on the sound of their V2 Japanese releases (non-appends). The Kagamine Power release is still slightly different from their Act2 release, save the quality issue. It's kind of like comparing Miku Solid (V4) to her Original (V4) voice bank.So far, Miku has 5 Japanese expression voicebanks, Rin has 3, Len has 3, and Luka has only 5 I care about and the other 5 don't sound good. Though the CV Series are not the best voices on the market, I would still like to see this.

Also, a Kagamine English update should be done. As long as it sounds clear and something a native English speaker can (mostly) understand, then I am fine with the release. It can have a Japanese accent for all I care, as long as I can understand the lyrics without looking at the text. Their V4 English had the same quality issues as Act1, which was not acceptable considering it was released in 2016.

Since Rin and Len are seperate voices, done by the same provider, it is expected (I assume) that they will contain less expression voicebanks than Miku or Luka. Basically you'd have their provider working twice as hard compared to the providers for Miku and Luka.

For Luka, I think her "Native", Husky (if fixed), Dark, Power 1, and Whisper vocals should be kept. Dark sounds the most like her V2 release. Cute, Power 2, Falsetto, Hard, and Soft did not sound appealing to me. As for her English release, tones similar to Dark and "Native" should be attempted.

But this is just my opinion. We'll have to see what Crypton does for V5 and V6.
