Kathleen,
You have asked this question a number of times, so maybe nobody has really
answered it for you.
So far as I am concerned, a combination of Braille and speech works even
better than Braille or speech on its own. Because of this, I don't feel it
is an answer to provide a speech model with all the extras such as FM radio
and have a Braille alone model.
Here's a few brief examples from my own experience. I receive far too much
email each day to read all by Braille however much I'd like to. I therefore
become more productive if I use speech for this task, in the main. If I'm
working in public, reading for pleasure or using most tasks on the BN then
I'll use Braille alone. Yes, it is my preference to work in these days but
all Braille for me would just prove too slow and all speech would result in
even more headaches!
HTH:

Kevin,
This is supposedly a "Braille" device. You have a "Voice-Note." Why not
incorporatew all this audio and souond stuff into that and leave the
BRAILLEnote for those who need it?
WIth two grandsons and a son in the Military, I'm well aware that the PC
offers many things I can't use. That is one reason I bought a Braillenote
instead of a PC. (It would have required a Braille Display plus a
screenreader.) However, in most instances, there is choice.
You are correct about the blind community being larger. However, I can't
believe you are saying because I am also deaf ,I should have to pay for
things that are useless to me at the risk of ending up with inferior
features that I could use! (SOmeone observed what happened with
"Braille-n-Speark. Is that what you want to happen here?)
