[1] Was looking sensorless brushless for cost reasons, ended up changing scale on the project and am using a pair of tiny brushed motors that, even with controller, come in cheaper than the motor.

So not really knowing much about Brushless motors (other than the basics of operation), what do they do better than the brushed counterpart?
