The reason I feel that Orla's absence is the worst is because there is nobody yet to replace her at all. They don't sing songs like her, or play the harp, or even sound like her. That whole aspect of Celtic music is completely missing. Lynn is a decent replacement for Meav, because her voice is similar, even if she's not quite the same. I don't think Alex is adding that much. She's nice, but nothing special compared to the rest of them. I heard one person ahead of me say that they're all too much the same. I kind of agree. To me, the best ones left are Chloe and Mairead, and it will be a horrible blow to the group if either of them decides to leave. Lisa is okay, but her voice was sounding too husky to me.
