Prompt #2 and audiobooks

A major decision that needs to be made in the creation of an audiobook is deciding how it should be read.  The Wheel of Time audiobooks took an interesting approach to this question.  This fantasy series has multiple view points.  The creators of these audiobooks chose to overlook what seem to me to be the two obvious choices.  Either you just get one person to read the whole thing or you get a different person to read each viewpoint. 
Instead they chose only two readers.  One, a man, read all of the chapters written from the viewpoint of a male character and the other, a woman, read all of the chapters written from the viewpoint of a female character.  For the first book, there was really no problem.  That book was written almost entirely through the viewpoint of one character.  But once the plot started branching, to the point of containing nearly a dozen viewpoint characters, it bugged me a bit.  Dividing it by gender seemed very artificial.  It's not like all the men in the story saw the world in a similar way that was distinct from the way the women did.  Both readers did an excellent job, I just feel that having two readers was either too many or not nearly enough.  That being said, I have listened to both audiobooks with a single reader and fully voice acted audiobooks and can say that having one person works much better for me.
