Well, there are ways to use emacspeak with the same synth as speakup,
but they are unsupported and what I would suggest is that you buy the
$50 dectalk runtime for linux -- that will work with emacspeak and
you can have both at once.
Now I have found personally that speakup gives good feedback and at
least with the cvs version emacspeak is not necessary, but that is a
personal choice and you should play with it and see what you like.
