Hmm, perhaps that's also worth putting in the side-by-side comparison Ahad put together - the Spartan requires mounting perpendicular to the robot chassis (parallel to the Z-axis plane), whereas the navX-MXP can be mounted in any of 8 possible orientations. That ends up impacting RoboRIO mounting since both use the RoboRIO MXP port. The navX-MICRO - which doesn't use the MXP port - can be mounted independent of the RoboRIO.
