Re: Talon sr, or SRX?

I feel that there is no "better" controller between the SR and the SRX, they both have their advantages and their disadvantages.
Yeah, I'd agree, the SRX's size is great, but those permanent wires only allow you to do temporary connections on the other side, so you're kind of stuck with always using Anderson connectors. The SRs are great and reliable but take up more space. Also, make sure you wire them the right way, otherwise... You don't want to know, unfortunately our team does.
