That's great if your Victors have lasted that long -- we just haven't had that experience, especially with Jaguars.
I don't know if 'tougher' is the better term, as much as I think that Talons are the better product. Let me explain:
When we made the switch to Talons, it combined the linearity of the Jaguar with the durability of a Victor (pre-Victor 888) plus metal shaving resistance. We've found that CTRE's attention to minor details really help set Talons apart: the PWM connection to the Talon is more secure than either Victors or Jaguars, the small footprint is helpful when squeezing electronics onto the chassis, the 4% deadband saves headaches from old joysticks, and the Smart LED helps debugging code.
