What about............

Has anyone considered "driveability" or "control" differences between Kv ratings? Consider the "responsiveness" of a 1700kv motor vs a 2300kv motor or a 4600kv. The higher Kv motor would be far more reactive to throttle (or esc/trigger) inputs than the lower Kv motors.

From what I've gathered from various sources (not personal experience) the higher Kv rated motors have a somewhat higher efficiency.

Also....(although a bit off topic) How do we factor in the performance differences of using 2-pole vs 4-pole (or 8-pole for that matter) motors?
