That's the very unfortunate aspect of what is going on with the new speed controls. In the short 2 year time that the Talon came on the market, we saw an upgraded 888 and a price cut of around 50%.

I hope some creative FIRSTer can get involved and bring another competitive product to market. A single-source supplier for such a critical component usually isn't a good thing from a consumer's point of view. Alternatives are important.
