I used the Talon for open water class (pool and lake) then bought the Brigade after class was over. I had no problems at all with the Talon, but preferred a back inflate, particularly after figuring out that for most portions of the dive I am able to have zero air in the bc. The bungied back inflate bladder on the Brigade provides for a lower drag configuration with no air in the bladder, and I liked that. I also like the fact that I was able to purchase two different size components for the Brigade to customise.
Good luck with your purchase! Either way, you will soon become used to whichever you buy and get to know it like the back of your hand. Have fun!
