This helped so much to cut down the size of the control board, which was extremely beneficial this year.
Not sure what your experiences have been with victors. I have used jaguars from 2010-2012, and victors from 2002 to about 2009. i am pretty sure I had more broken jaguars in 3 years then all my years of using victors.

I finally went back to victor this year and I really like the 888s this year. I will have to try the talons this summer.
