[FRC Blog] 2017 Motor (and Servo?) Controllers and MXP

It appears to have a few "smart" features, like getting the limit switch and changing brake/coast while driving. Overall, I think I'd still pick the SPARK over this at the moment, seeing how it offers the same limit switch stop feature (it's not hard to code in anyway) and costs $5 less with the option of buying through Amazon Prime.

However, something to note is that the manual mentions encoder inputs and currently says:

Closed loop Control feature is not available in firmware at this time.
However, you can upgrade firmware of your device to use those
features as soon as the firmware is available.

If they can add this feature soon (and before Kickoff soon, people won't design for features they don't have) and it works well, then the Talon SRX may be seeing its last season of being the dominant motor controller.
