Popularity shouldn't be a reason for purchase, but quality is. Holding out though is a good intention of any purchase even if you end up just buying Avanna because you don't like the other voices. I must admit, whenever the "now or later" purchase situation comes out its difficult to say whats right. Avanna does have a native English-accent whereas the others don't and is headed by a company who've had experience with English vocaloids, she is aimed at western producers. There is still much unknown about the details of english vocaloids.

Long drawn out notes usually refer to the loooooooooooooooong notes. Some vocaloids are better at shorter notes then longer Prima, for instance, loves long notes but hates shorter, she easily holds a note that can last longer then a 8-beat length note in length quite easily. Most vocaloids with this situation can successfully hold out a full bar single note, its just once they go over that their voices start fading. Its rare you'll need much longer then a 6 beat length note and most vocaloids hold this well enough, its only a few that struggle with this even....
