Re: Jaguar VS Victor

From the discussion in this and other threads, it seems the consenses is that the Jags are beneficial only because of the CAN bus functionality and the more linear power curve. What I am interested in knowing is how many teams actually found these benefits indispensable and under what circumstances? We have been using Victors all these years and don't see the need to go with the Jags. I know CAN bus offers a lot of new nice functionalities but how many teams are actually using them in software and if they absolutely cannot do without these functionalities? Every year we had a discussion on switching to Jags but when doing cost and benefit analysis, Jags always lose out for us.
