In terms of linearity and motor control, the Jaguar is sliiightly better than the talon, but both are superb compared to the old 884s. Jaguars allow you to use CAN and all the cool features along with it. However, Jags are often seen as less robust.

Talons are brand new this year, and I'm not too sure how they'll hold up over the course of the season. However, they do have very nice linearity and also have the benefit of being completely debris proof. Because of the smaller robot body size this year, Talons are going to be much easier to find space for.
