Seems to cost less:

Seems to lead to higher satisfaction levels among parents of students:

Did you want to make a specific argument, or do you just want to trade links?

None of your links show it improved student performance, the first study is very preliminary and only showed basically parents and students liked the schools. You can achieve the same mimimum standard without vouchers and have better results with charter and magnet schools.
