Aqwut, personally, I think the TrueRC packs are his best bet. He can get a VERY good 4S2P 8000mah pack for $140 as apposed to $90 for a 5S2P 4600mah (I think?) A123 pack thats ALOT bigger and heavier.

Very true dude, but gotta love the power output.... the 5S2p would pump close to 2300 Watts where as the 4S2P TrueRC would only pump about 1200 watts.... and you could charge the A123s 3-4 times faster with the appropriate charger... but the TrueRC pack would last longer for sure...

Which aspect of 'lasting longer' are you talking about? Life time, or runtime?

As for cycle life, no one knows yet... that's how awesome they are, I am getting close to 300 cycles now and have only lost 75mah in a 1p configuration. Impressive.
