Tbh, if v3 vocaloids are soft-voicetypes, I don't see anything benefits upgrading them to V4. GROWL function doesn't mean anything to a soft voice. I love MEW a lot and she's one of my most favorite vocaloids, but I see no point in updating her, unless they give her another append. The only reason I can possibly think of why Tone Rion was updated is because they want to market Yumemi Nemu as a new vocaloid, and want to show evidences that the VP has been involved in the community before so it raises more sale for Rion, yet complements Nemu as a new member and simultaneously, more chances of customers buying them as bundle. If they have not introduced Nemu, I don't even think Rion stands a chance to survive
