The batterystraps; take cups! i don't know if you did measurements on cells you have got? but gp3300 are different than 3700's and so on.. I hate the slots for the batteries, you are better of with a tub kind of thing that holds the batteries.
If he were going with Lipo and your idea Serum, think of how small the trays could be and drop some weight there. And use about the 2.3mm as you suggested as well. Really, they are just holding batts, so thinckness does not have to be anymore than 2.5mm
