Speakjet vs SoundGin

Hello-
Wanting to add speech synthesis to my project...has anyone used one or both of these chips and can tell me which is better?
I think the SoundGin sounds better but seems harder to use (http://si.fileburst.com/SoundginDatasheet.pdf) than the SpeakJet (http://www.magnevation.com/pdfs/speakjetusermanual.pdf)
I'm pretty lost here...
Thanks
Rafael

You've got to play the game.
You can't win.
You can't break even, except on a very cold day.
It doesn't get that cold.

Here is a link to the demo page, take a listen and see what you think:

Tim-M: The quality is indeed very nice, however since I'm planning on constructing several PCB's, $42/chip is a little much for me. My design is a surface mount (although I could add a DIP).
Franklin: I'd rather value better sound, since there is a (very remote) possibility that these things could find their way on to the market.
Do you guys know if there are more extensive (voice) samples for the two chips I mentioned? I can't seem to find any other than the ones on the respective company websites.
Thanks
