Thank you for the update.

I was wondering more about the possability of diferent motor controlers being slightly more optimal for diferent applications. For example, the Talon appears to have slightly more power at high load compared to a Jaguar. Does this mean that it would be better for an application where spikes into high load are expected, such as an elevator? Or is this just another artifact of testing and graphing?

Also, to give more concrete numbers it would be nice if you could upload the Excel files you used for the graphs. I always find a table easier to use for motor curves.
