Sorry about that; I meant MetalMans pics. MM's second picture looks like it would work much better, and the hookup is more like a "regular" ESC. If you look at his second pic, you see that he is disabling the internal BEC and adding an external one. This is much better because both packs are discharged the same amount from the BEC, so chances of an imbalance are less. Not to mention greater efficiency by using a switching BEC.

Im my experience, if you set the LVC to 3.2v/cell cutoff (providing that the LVC is programmable that way), monitoring each cell is redundant. This high cutoff value helps to ensure that no single cells will get too low - even if one of the cells is 0.2v lower than the rest, it is still at the 3v mark.
