Sue aside. The exact quality of some unstressed vowels is not very important in English, because it varies from accent to accent and from situation to situation. In all such cases, like stay-shun vs stay-shin or Duh-sember vs Dih-sember, just say whatever sounds best or acceptable to you.

- It often is somewhere in between and it might not be always completely fixed in a certain speaker's speech, I suspect.
- Just my opinion.

There are two pronounciations based on the tempo.
In lento, you hear /w/. In allegro speech, you dont hear /w/, instead you hear a satellite /i/
