My Kokam 20C 4800 posted better #'s than my Maxamps 5000, but it wasn't night-and-day between them.
I would expect a good 25-30C pack would also perform better than the maxamps pack.
Off topic: I do find it interesting that some here tend to say the TrueRC packs are ok but Maxamps are not. Of course, the TrueRC are a lot cheaper.... but certainly are not better packs. Perhaps you should pick up a TrueRC bargain pack to compare also. ;)

Do you remember what maxamps cells you tested? Their 4000 cells seem to be decent, still not 20c, while I did not think that the 5000 cells were very good, maybe 15c before the voltage dumps. My trakpower 4900 packs easily outperformed a pair of maxamps 5000 2s packs in series. And the ratings of both are almost identical (my trakpower packs are the older 20c rated ones). The differnece was very obvious to me, and I did not think it would be that obvious. I must have picked up 2-3mph top speed, and acceleration was much better.
I have a feeling that Truerc packs are consider good due to their price to performace. I may have to pick up a truerc pack for testing, any idea what to buy?
