One of the major advantages lipos have over NiMH is the weight savings. For an equal weight of lipo vs NiMH at the same voltage, you can get up to three times the runtime. Also, for the same voltage/capacity, lipos are generally smaller in physical size. Yeah, they cost more, but I think they're worth it really. I was in the same boat as you about 6-8 months ago; NiMHs were working fine for me, but I took the plunge and happy I did.
