Talon Vs. other???
Looking at Eurkel and comparing the Talon with other ships, it has more HP and seems to move better than most. Meta says the Arrow, Gladius and Blade are the best, but IDK, is the Talon a secret no one knows about?

No.
It has lower DPS than the Gladius or Arrow, and its HP is mainly in the feathers.
It's actually weaker than both the Gladius and Arrow due to the wings having all the mavs and low HP.
This means that once one wing is destroyed, all control is lost, and you are basically dead.

Yeah, mostly this: Gladius/Arrow/Blade do have a lot less total HP, but each wing of the Talon has just 1650 HP... and if you lose one, you're toast.
Add the fact that it has less DPS and that is way a bigger target than them (mostly due to wings, which greatly counters its good agility +_+), and you have your answer.

Only adding it is an exceptional flier. I sometime fly it around New Babbage snaking around and under the tramlines for the laughs. But yea I dont see much difference between the size 3 weapons or 4's. As an example my saber kills much faster with 4 size 3's compared to the 2 size 4's on the Talon. I would think there would be a much smaller difference than there actually is.

I don't see it. Quite the opposite. Compared to a Gladius (the light fighter with two shield generators) it seems to almost only have disadvantages:

The hull hitpoints are always a tricky math right now due to different element counts, and the body HP is mostly the same. It has 30% stealth and is faster in a straight line if using boost. Everything else is same or worse. Including thruster loss on wing loss and worse cockpit view.
