As much as some people like to put faith into the Jaguars, there have been too many mishaps over such a short period for them to be trustworthy in my book.

The combination of the large footprint, and less than reliable track record is what will be keeping Jaguars off of our robots until the eventual phasing out of the IFI products.
One anecdote isn't a statistically significant result in either direction. However there is an understandable tendency for problems to be reported at a far higher rate than good experiences, so I wanted to throw our positive experience into the mix.
Reading all of the threads, there do seem to be some very specific issues with the Jaguars, but I suspect that a large percentage of the problems reported are due to inexperience with the controllers, not system design or manufacturing problems.

Time and careful analysis of the returns should yield a more comprehensive understanding.
