There's also no "I'm ambivalent about these features" option. "I do not like it, Sam-I-Am" becomes the default option, since the others are super positive about the product.

From my chair, none of the features of the SD540 stand above my primary criteria for selection of a speed-controller, which is "Reliable, as verified by real FRC teams using real hardware on a real robot".

Not to imply that the product isn't reliable, just that being burned to the tune of a set of speed controllers during build/competition season is enough disincentive to keep me preferring more tried-and-true offerings.
