that seems like it would be logical, except look at the ni-mh market over the past few years. it's one of the most dishonest markets out there for r/c. a lot of the most expensive packs/companies are some of the worst quality. basically, the $150 dual packs (for the maxx, as an example) have about the same build quality as the $30 paper weight packs you can find on feebay. just because they use brand name cells doesn't mean they're worth anywhere close to the price being asked.
lipo seems to be the same way - at least, the same company that sold the garbage ni-mh packs for $150 are now selling boat loads of lipos that apparently don't hold up to the specs given, but it seems to be more well-known which lipos are good and which ones are not so good... and all within the same price bracket.
