Mm, I don't really agree.

CeVIO has a lot of engine noise that I really don't enjoy (UTAU's engine noise puts me off too). It sounds way more robotic to me because of that, no matter how well tuned it is. I think CeVIO has a more human tone than VOCALOID, but I can't get over the engine noise that comes with it.

That being said, there are voicetypes in CeVIO that I do enjoy (well, one -- ONE's; the rest... I don't really care for), and that's about it. Just the voicetype. But there is a much bigger variety of voicetypes in VOCALOID, which I prefer, so...

(Also, the way you said "this is what non-professional covers usually sound like" sort of implies that all non-professional covers are bad despite the "usually", which definitely isn't the case. I actually enjoyed that Len cover you linked more than the Sasara one (my biggest issue in the Len one was the mixing; my issue with the Sasara one can't be fixed with minimal mixing).)

And I'm also a bit confused  - are you referring just to Crypton VOCALOIDs, or VOCALOID as a whole? Crypton isn't exactly the most high quality company when it comes to their VOCALOIDs. :X
