Cevio is not as bad quality as UTAU but isn't as good as Vocaloid. Straight away this something about where Sassa and Miku are. You also cannot base your judgement on just 1 vocal from each software and we see this a lot as it is since many base their assumptions of Vocaloid on Miku alone. There are so many factors at play in addition that two random producers will not always equal the overall quality of a Vocaloid. The best way to examine both vocals is to compare them in their RAWm state.

In addition, bare in mind Miku is not the voice of a professional singer and this will hinder her against other Vocaloids already. She was primary built to sound cute. This makes things hard straight away to judge her, as she has natural issues related to her providers position as a amateur/rookie and you can find these things just by simply comparing her V3 with Meiko's alone since they were from the same company.

Anyway, as others have pointed out as VOCALOIDS the CFM vocals are not necessary the highest quality vocals. If we go back to V2 alone, bare in mind Miku V2 was one of the lesser quality vocals of the era; this was no fault of her own, as it was a by product of the times. Her Appends were among the best... But... Bare in mind that so were Iroha's, VY1, VY2, the Kagamine Appends.
