Maybe all of this twin brushless sillyness will go away when the MMM combo comes out one day.

The attraction is partially because of the price. For $290, one can purchase 2 Velineon systems from tower hobbies.
However, for anyone simply running 4S, it is cheaper to buy a MM, 8XL, Heatsink/clamp, BEC and a pinion versus the dual velineons. If you want to run 6S however, the price skyrockets as you then need a $275+ ESC instead of a MM. IMO, if performance is similar aside from slighter higher temps or a couple of minutes of less run time, dual velineons on 3s really are a feasible option to a higher priced 6s system.
