Alberto doesn't sound too hot.  I can't imagine a native Spanish speaker 
would be able to understand much of what he said--in my case I had 
listened to the English speakers first, and knew what he was going to say!

MHO is that the Cepstral voices aren't as choppy.  I have been using 
Cepstral's Frank voice with Asterisk for quite a while, and overall it's 
a pretty high-functioning machine voice.

I would rate it higher than the ones I just listened to on the AT&T site.
