I have had experience with both orion 4800s, & maxamps 8000s
The orions have noticeably more throttle response and wide open throttle power. they were also much lighter very evident when jumping. The wires coming out of the top of the case are also very nice. 15-20 minutes. Never had to be balanced (10lb-8xl-MM)

The maxamps 8000s are heavy and didnt have quite as much power as the orions. But they have 25-30 minutes of drive time. The side positioned wires can be a pain. I balance them about every other charge.
