And I think you're both nuts!  :-) Dio was the best they ever had,
even if he was an asshole (he and Iommi clearly deserve each other).
Tony Martin's voice is no better than "acceptable".  It has a lot of
the same tonalities as Dio's, but he doesn't have as much control,
nor the expressive emotional range that Dio does.

Ozzy is a great bandleader, but that's more in spite of his voice
than because of it.  ;-)
