That price is rather high (IMO). I could get loose cells from Maxamps to build a 4s 4200mah (15C) pack for that much money. The weight might not be the same, nor the average discsharge rate, but a higher capacity and MUCH cheaper.

Injection molded cases are not a good idea IMO. They will prevent the battery from properly being cooled, and could prevent the ability to monitor the temperature of them (depending on case design). They would also add to the weight and size of the pack, while adding a few dollars too. IMO, simple foam around a pack is a good solution, along with sturdy battery mounts.
