I don’t understand your point. Reviewers preferred the old model in 17.6% of instances and did not feel it was an improvement in 37.7% of cases. Together that means in more than 50% of cases reviewers felt the old model was as good as, or better than, the new model. The new model is undoubtedly better than the old model but given how bad the old model is I don’t think these results are encouraging.
My point is that twice as many people preferred the new model as preferred the old model.

We're not disagreeing. The new model is obviously better but I think that test shows it's not nearly as good as people are expecting. It is not a noticeable improvement on more than 50% of cases which seems not good at all.
 
Try it for yourself. It's processing dictation on the device; it's supposed to be noticeably faster than the cloud. But cloud dictation is so fast and accurate that Siri dictation is obsolete at this point. Very disappointed.
It is inaccurate and slow. Very disappointing after a year. There are apps on App Store that do much better job but they don’t allow them to stay open
