Motor heat is wasted power not getting to the ground. So, any decrease in temps will mean more runtime. How much runtime is really hard to say. Depends on how you drive since the high end motors are more efficient over a larger rpm range.

But, is the price worth 2-3x? I say yes, but that depends on what your disposable income level is, and what you want for a system (something that works well, or something that simply blows others away).
Well said... sometimes it 7-8 times the price....
