Talks vs. Mobile Speak

Now that I've got my N75 ordered, I need some assistance on which speech
package to go with.  Are there any major differences between Talks &
MobileSpeak in phone accessibility, or are they kind of like JAWS vs..
Windoweyes?  I know there's a price difference with AT&T offering
MobileSpeak for $89.00, but at this point, I'm looking for functionality,
ease of use, and accessibility to all the phones features and applications.
Not to mention, which of the two software packages seems to be the most
stable on an N75 phone.  Is one screen reader more configurable than the
other when it comes to customizing how it interacts with different
applications?  At this point, the only thing I know for sure is that I
prefer the Eloquence speech over the DECTalk.  Does using one of the better
speech synthesizers instead of the DECTalk speech seem to weigh down the
phone and make it more sluggish?  Also, how are both programs when it comes
to browsing and using a messenger application?  Sorry about all the
questions, but any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and all
comments both good and bad for either screen reader would really be
welcomed.
 
Blessings,
 
Brian
