If you can get Jaguar for free or really cheap, I would go for it. 
Until just this last week I had been using Jaguar with absolutely no 
problems. I saw no slowdowns, shortened battery life or video playback 
problems.
Panther is definitely better, but unless you can find a great deal for 
it you are better off sticking with Jaguar and waiting for Tiger next 
year. That is just my opinion.
