With so many people buying 8000, you will see that going with the smaller packs helps a lot in terms of price, weight and placement of the packs in your veicle. Example: 2 3S 8000mAh ($235.48 and 545 grams each)= $470.96 and 1090 grams, now 2 6S 2200mAh ($149.99 and 340 grams each)= $299.98 and 680 grams. The 8000mAh packs each have the following dimensions: 44mm X 137mm X 38mm. The 2200mAh packs each have the following dimensions: 51mm X 33mm X 107mm. jhautz with this little info would you still vote for LV or would you go with HV?

lutach... Your not telling me anything that I didn't understand when I wrote my first reply.
I didn't "vote" for LV, I said I wouldn't pay allot more for the HV and that 6s seems to be plenty in my experience. If you cant get a truck to run cool on a well setup 6s rig, then you have problems.
As far as your battery size and cost argument please see below.

And on top of that, I've noticed people tend to choose th 8000 for 3s and 4s setups, and then 4 or 5000 for 6s...

My thoughts exactly. Comparing apples and oranges here. Give me a comparison with the same amount of potential energy in both setups and then tell me how much "cheaper" and "lighter" it is.
This question is like hammer or screwdriver.... which one is better? Unless you know the "for what" you cant answer it. I am just trying to give you some context around my thoughts. There isn't an answer that is black or white IMO.
