Yaa. It is the 3D - 1360kv. Gives the cleanest install and lowest CG by a small amount.

Not really. Most of the real benefits are noticed right away and mostly they are performance related. Ability to coast through the air off jumps with ease. Slow rolling corners with confidence in the consistency of the "roll". And also the ability to adjust brake bias. The ability to have the rear end of the car brake before the front makes for consistent handling through corners and tighter turns.

I think the temps are noticeably lower though... so extra run time might also be noticed, though I haven't tested for it.

Thanks for the comments.
