Short version:

Talon linearity is nearly as good as a Jaguar. Talon is less susceptibile to shorting due to swarf.

Victor 888 linearity is much better than Victor 884, but not as good as Talon or Jag.

Jags have CAN now. Talons will have it later.

Competition has provided customers with better performance and prices.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
