You hit it on the head, the runtime is awesome, as is the durability, so you can actually use those long runtimes. To get the best power and max RPMs, there is still tuning almost every time I take it out. Due to the weather here mostly. Much less than nitro though, maybe a 1/8-1/16th of a turn on the high needle is all it takes.
I've got a Zenoah 4 bolt 27.2 top end ported by Oneill Brothers, with a Trevor Simpson reed case. Until the new 36mm Zenoah top ends came out, this was as much power as I could get keeping a Zenoah top end. It has plenty of power, everywhere. There is still a delay in power and response, that I can easily feel. You just drive accordingly though, this is easily my favorite RC right now.
I will admit that with this setup has plenty of power, and plenty of power is wasted in wheelspin, so I don't really
need more power, but the engine is going back to ONB to get a new 30.5 Zen top end matched and ported in the next couple months. You can never have too much power.
