This got me thinking. I realized I associate both narrators mostly with non-fiction and that's probably a reason for the four stars. There's only so much you can do with non-fiction; there's a huge downward potential but not as much upward. For example, while I've heard Simon Vance read a fair amount of non-fiction, which he does admirably, it's really the fiction narrations where he shines and gets his five stars.
The huge pitfall with non-fiction, of course, is the increased likelihood of mispronunciations. Too many and a book is spoiled.
