Interesting, Ive had 3 different JTAC's since the start of our rotation and they have all said the opposite. Ive noticed extended battery life on the 152's(even better if you can get one of those fancy extended battery warrior packs), they are made by harris so they are superior to the thales made 148's. They are better suited for satcom. Only issue I have seen is trying to get parts for them.
