Talons are sealed, so you can give a high five to the face with an arc-welder to metal dust and other debris that will murder your speed controllers so easily. Those small particles, though they seem harmless, will gather up, and work together to produce magic smoke! With the talons, you can say Bye-Bye to that!
Also, talons are passively cooled, because they have a shiny heat sink atop themselves.
Oh yeah. I forgot to mention that the talons are a much newer model, so the designers must have taken the flaws of the previous controllers and fix them in this. Otherwise, talons more-or-less behave like victors! I think that that is how you program them too!
---So the short answer is, Go for them! They will eradicate some of the team's headaches!
Quite some fluff in there^^
