Talon SR vs SRX

Hello,

I made the suggestion that our team purchase one or two extra Talon motor controllers to have on hand. I checked both AndyMark and Cross The Road's website and they both say the Talon SR has been discontinued. AndyMark said it was being replaced by the SRX. The pictures for the SRX look totally different -- whole other beast.

This concerns me:

Would they be compatible with our Talon SRs that were included in the 2015 kit of parts? (or are those SRXs? They only say SR) If we have them as backup, could we just hot swap one in, connect the PWM, and be on our way?

I saw someone mention the code from NI being wrong concerning mecanum drive in a forum post (although the forum post was deleted in the past few minutes). We're using mecanum (Cartesian) drive, so this is something I/we would like to know about as well if anyone has any sources on that.

Thank you for any and all of your time!
