You are correct, but don't forget that lipos don't stay at 4.2v very long at all once you start running. It's best to use the nominal voltage value when calculating anything since that will represent the voltage the pack is at for the majority of the time. Just like you wouldn't use the off-the-charger voltage of about 1.4v/cell for NiMHs...
