The purpose of the ramping is to prevent that "burst of power at a crucial moment" from causing your Jags to shut down.

Third way: no ramping, use Talons?

We were running a 4 cim 2 550 drive (using talons) and had problems with blowing the main breaker on quick direction changes. Adding in a very small(1/8 second I believe) voltage ramp completely fixed this problem. It doesn't need to be very big at all and was unnoticeable to drivers anyways(you can't accelerate instantly anyways so it is pretty unnoticeable).
