  • Supply Voltage: works down to 5.5V and up to 30V, Tied for first best at both ends with SPARK.
  • Aesthetics: The jaguar case is a work of art compared to the boxes with fans (Victor 884 and 888) and the boxes without fans (the others).
  • You can control a Jaguar with RS-232. I can contrive of a few applications where this would be useful, like controlling from an old PC.
Don't forget the fact that the flames that poured out of Jags were very entertaining for the kids!
