I find there is a parallel to Lola and Miriam. I like Lola as to many others despite her being the "inferior" voicebank in V1. This is simply because Lola's vocal is able to do some incredible stuff when push comes to shove if you ignore the deep tone. Whereas Miriam has a better but weaker vocal that can be a beautiful but lacking in variety. ITs hard to fully explain it, but I've been impressed with Lola more over the years then Miriam when she is used right.

Its a shame people are so stuck on "Miss Multilingual" which she is not, that they largely ignore Clara and Bruno. The pair are the least popular or used Vocaloids despite were at the time of their creation some of the best every produced. You had members of their team who worked upon the original vocaloid engine now doing their own native language, it was the best combination you could have. It was spoilt by "ugly art" reactions and "Mainland Spain accent" knee jerk reactions as well as bias in favour of Japanese Vocaloids... A thing that used to be a major big hold back for the Englsih community. You also just had no one buy them because they weren't real singers and the usual "man versus machine" thing among the usual "Vocaloid versus vocalist" arguments. A number of factors contributed to things, but sadly it doesn't change much at all.
