As with any new product, there will always be someone who's gonna try to make it look bad when they're using a competing product. Reading the stats, it looks to be a good or better product. Just by common sense, the power pole thingy looks like over time the chicken wing deployment can fatigue over time at the pivoting joints. I'm sure the talon would face the same fatigue with it's moving parts too so I think you guys are coming to a conclusion too soon.
