If you got BalancePro packs, then for 7s it would only cost $370 (only, lol). That's for a 4s and a 3s. 6s would cost $322 (2 x 3s packs). Then, you could buy an external LVC device.
Or, you could get the CellPro (standard) packs. 7s would cost $357, 6s would be $291. With the CellPro packs, you use a regular charger and balancer, and a regular LVC.

It is my opinion that packs other than the Scorpion should be used, as their overall value is lower than the BalancePro's or CellPro's. This is caused by the built-in LVC that is like a one-time use sort of thing (think of a disposable camera). Once the battery's life is over, you can't really use the LVC unless you salvage it.
