The problem I've found with most ultra-realistic voices is they sound terrible at high speeds. Which makes sense, no human talks at the rate I have my screen reader at and would sound ridiculous if they did. But I value being able to get through information quickly, so I'll take Eloquence.

Hi, Hi, This is something that is probably very hard to get right. Two of the things that make me stick with Eloquence are that it emphasizes words usually at the correct places, and it pauses in the right spots for punctuation. Even though I like the human voices because they sound like people, I find it difficult to listen to them for more than a few minutes because I have to keep translating emphasis in my head.
