Cheryl: I agree with your comparative analysis, though I understood the original question as being about which was easier to use. I believe lynx is much easier because of cursor tracking and link and form field numbering. Also, javasupport is no panacea--whatever browser one has. I know of sites that don't work with any speech enabled browser because of the way they use js.
