I own Power Poles and will only own Power poles. I also have a friend who owns a boat with Talons and I use his boat when Im in between boats. Both Talons and Power Poles do exactly what theyre designed to do. Though as i said I will only own Power Poles due to looks, much quieter, easier use when needing to get under low spots including into the garage. About the only advantage a Talon has over Power Pole is they are easier to install since the motor is integrated.
