I don't know whether Teto having a Vocaloid version would actually effect her popularity or fame as an UTAU; it's very well established. It's not as though she'd morph from one into the other, she'd retain her identity on both sides. o: I'd speculate that for Vocaloid Teto to overshadow UTAU Teto, Vocaloid Teto would have to be very popular. It might just have the function of providing more options for users. n_n

I kind of want it to happen just to see how it would turn out, or how it would affect her image.

I suppose one of the reasons UTAU users might not want Teto to because a Vocaloid, is that it might make them feel that UTAU Teto is 'poor man's Vocaloid Teto'. Vocaloid has some disadvantages compared to UTAU, but is overall usually more liked as a software by listeners, due to the lack of engine noise, which can be grating. Since they're using UTAU already, obviously this is not going to have a huge affect on UTAU users. However, some might fear, on some level, a feeling of disatisfaction with UTAU Teto, when there is another version available with some different advantages. It's not something you'd think about consciously, but it might make you uncomfortable with the idea of a Vocaloid version.
