I may be wrong but if you want a replacement meaning that it uses CAN bus, that may be the only motor controller currently that uses CAN. If you just want something cheaper, I have heard the Spark motor controllers are good, my team hasn't had the best experience with them but I know the Average Joes built an entire robot using them. They also used Talon SRs on their practice robot, which is another PWM controlled motor controller. You may want to talk to Richard Wallace to see their experience with the Sparks and Talon SRs, but there is no other CAN bus based motor controller that I know of.
EDIT: Thank you Bobby! I didn't know that, my team has always used Jaguars with PWM before we switched to Talon SRXs.
