Quite different products. ZT is a magnifier with some speech support,
SuperNova is both a magnification package and fullblown screenreader in
a single package including (uniquely) support for Braille output
devices. If magnifier with some TTS is what is required then Luna+
(also from Dolphin) is a better comparison (on price and feature set).
ZT has apparently suffered from some stability problems in latter
versions (although haven't seen this for myself) and is generally
considered as less compatible with other assistive technology products
on a single machine (even where not being used at the same time).
