Yeah, I'd like to know about that too.
I have a LogiSystems controller (1000A, 250V) that I blew up, repaired, rebuilt and finally decided to not use because of the jerky starts, so I built a Cougar one instead. Works well, but not anywhere near the same performance so I am thinking of building a new Cougar control board to drive the LogiSystems power section. But I'd have to do a new layout to make it fit inside the case.
The LogiSystems thing has lots of IGBTs and plenty of headroom for 1000A, so that would make a pretty good controller I think.
I'd like to see what anyone has done towards a 1000A version of the Cougar though, just to compare.
