Yes, this is what we need. A method to compare packs in the real world. Most people could care less what the numbers are, just how it compares to other "known" packs.
Problem with this is that once this info was out, you would find a "diamond in the rough" and that supplier would get the lions share of the sales. And I believe it would be an out of country supplier, who spends very little on advertising and can sell stuff cheaper.
Maxamps, for all their flaws, has always had alot of advertising, promotion and presence at local and national electric events. They promote their products well, and get alot of business that way. Most of the bad taste here comes from the beginning, and the obviously inflated specs they had. I am not sure if they still do that, but this 150c claim does nothing to make me think the DON'T.
