I like the talons, but both are good products and get the job done... talons go straight down and power poles do a praying mantis thing...

Power Poles. They look better than the gutters too.

Power poles will hold better, they have a larger footprint, I think they look better, from what I have read and seen the Talon is also a fine anchor, I have a jet river boat that I have thought about putting a Talon on, not enough room for the Power Pole pump.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Talon with the hinged mounting bracket.
Easily folds down so you can get in a garage.
I have two and can't imagine fishing in the wind without them.

A Talon is NOT cheaper folks. You can not compare a Talon & Pro or Blade Series PP because these PP products are Powder Coated and a talon is anodized aluminum...
8' Talon - $1449.00 (anodized aluminum) + $210 (bracket) + 180.00 (tilt option) = $1839 + 1 hour installation ( 2 year warranty)
8' Power-Pole Sportsnan Series - $1296.00 (anodized aluminum) + 170.00 (bracket) = $1466 + 1 hour installation ( 3 year warranty + lifetime unconditional steak warranty

New universal mount is $225 free shipping. I bought a black 8' talon last week and spent $1,404 to my door. Waiting on my $100 rebate. It took 45 mins to mount the thing. Anyone with a wrench and a hint of common sense can put one on. You hook a positive and negative wire to battery and if you want you can hook alarm to ignition. Don't have to tho. No hydraulic pumps or need for a lot of room. Talon all the way
