Ya i recently forked over $150 us dollars for a Hyperion vs. my usual $40 for the Hobbycity type pack. I notice almost no difference in performance. I'm having to trust it will last longer and can charge faster I suppose (dont have a high amp charger to do that anyways but if i did I could charge that Hyperion faster). I run 4s but my 5 & 6s buddies one of which is an electrician says since its a higher voltage you can also get away with lower C ratings. His 6s 20c packs keep right up with my 4s 35c packs just fine and he runs longer cooler all the while.
Even though the $40 hobby city pack has no warranty, heck you could buy almost 4 of them for same price as one of these "top level" packs. And i have not seen them fail 400% more. Especially if your new to lipos and you puff a pack you wont beat your head on the wall as hard with a cheap pack vs. the $200 pack that your friends go oohh and awwee about in the pits.
