VESC Controller Comparison Table - which one should I buy?

Hardware, Parts and Tools

Combing through posts here, discord channels, and FB groups for a good comparison and favorites between controllers. (@loaffette on Vescify) has a chart started in his “VESC Bible”, — check that out - and I thought you all could provide good feedback here also (for those researching here, and to assist that document as well). Thanks!

Thanks for converting this to a chart, and wiki @rene_the_hacker . I adjusted some of the feature descriptions, and filled in some Tronic results. Not sure it’s all accurate though, so I hope the community fixes any mistakes.
