Reading through parts of Augmentation and the Vocal Range Enhancer seems like a far better way to get the benefits of Voice Control for much less.  Am I missing something?

Both have advantages and disadvantages. 

Both let you control your voice and imitate other sounds.

Voice control lets the adept throw his voice, and has an easier time fooling voice recognition systems (you only oppose the rating, as opposed to twice the rating for a vocal range enhancer).  It also allows you to control your voice's volume.

The vocal range enhancer can imitate sounds outside of the normal range of human hearing, and has the optional ability to add +1 to social skills and +2 to singing tests.

The vocal range enhancer is a good addition to a magical face, but only if you are getting other bioware or geneware, as well.  Because 0.10 Essence takes away the same full point of Magic that 1.00 Essence does.  But on the other hand, it makes a good package with tailored pheromones: 3, clean metabolism, and genetic optimization: Charisma.
