Both controllers would have to be tweaked to allow the high speed serial link, but the benefit is that the motors can be packaged as a program object easily. At 44$ they are not cheap, but how much does a motor and a encoder cost and they still are not thermally protected and do not give torque feed back. |
Good luck with getting that servo approved...that's 3x more powerful than FIRST allows in FRC:

However, that servo would be perfect for
NURC... hmm.
