Re: Talons, Jaguars and Victors - where do you stand?

2175 has never really liked the Jaguars very much. They are big, and we have had sever release their magic smoke on us. In 2012 we decided to try Victors and loved them. They were smaller and simpler and worked 100% of the time. This year - 2013 - we decided to try the new Talons. We loved them even more and are planning on going with them next year. They are even smaller than the Victors and have no need for a fan. We still put fans on our drive Talons but that was because a team member touched them and overreacted... If we had to rate our order of choice for speed controllers it would be:
1) Talons
2) Victors
3) Jags
