Hi Pete You are right. I only wish that those voices are as clear on the iPhone. Maybe it is a memory or processing issue with the iPhone that effects the HQ voices.
All I know is that the iPhone doesn't handle them where as the iPad does. When they are played on the iPhone they do not pronounce some words as well, an example of that is the word "Phonetics." On the iPad both voices have the same pronunciation yet on the iPhone, the compact voice will still pronounce "Phonetics" the way it should be said but when I switch to the HQ voice it will say "PhoneEtics." The other thing that is noticeable on the iPhone is that the voice seems to cut words off really quickly and in general sounds quite jumpy. I'm not worried about it these are just my observations. I'm more than happy to use the compact voice on the iPhone and the HQ voice on the iPad. I just thought I'd give my observations on this topic.

Again, this is subjective, but I suggest you adjust the Setting for yourself and decide.
