Personally, I don't see any benefits the Victor 884/888 has over the Talon. The only benefits I can see from data provided for the Talon over the Victor 888 are the heat sink and conformal coating. Obviously, the linear output is another benefit over the Victor 884. Looking at the documents for each, I believe the Talon also has a slightly smaller footprint than the Victor 884.
Just for a point of clarification, the Victor 884 featured conformal coating. The new Victor 888 will as well.

Best,
Ricky
