1. having the voice scripts written in Ruby and hosted by Tropo was easier than building a web service to control every mundane aspect
2. Tropo would supply non-U.S. numbers if I needed them
3. Tropo made it easy to do the voice recording and POST it as an MP3
4. Tropo worked out cheaper for my little test service
Some or all of these may now have changed but i'd still give Tropo first choice in any future projects
