I actually think Miku English is better then what people think it is. I honestly expected another Luka or it to even be a Sonika... I just think it is showing CFM's lack of experience doing English since their non-natives themselves. I find the issue with Japanese accented vocals if that you can do what they did with Miku and try and get rid with it and fail, or you can do a Nana and make sound really natural but don't bother with making her accent. Either method has its flaws and draw backs. Gumi was a better attempt, but it suffers from being their first English release and is full of glitches and bugs due to the lack of experience.

Compared to PowerFX and Zero-G, whose audio quality may not be so arguable, they have better English vocaloids because of the combine of two factors. Firstly 1: easy access to native speakers. 2: Experienced team. When you listen to Avanna, you hear the improvements from Sonika. When you hear Tonio, you hear short cuts and laziness from Prima. It notices when a compare learns and when they cut corners.

Based on the 2nd point, they WILL get better over time at making English vocals. As I said in the blog though, until they pushed Miku onto the market, they could establish a user base. Without this, you can't get feed back on how to improve her nor do you have a target audience to push her vocal onto. This limits future developments of their vocals.
