Well, runtime is going to be obvious, its going to be about 11% more runtime for the 5000mah pack over the 4500mah pack. So if you get 10 minutes on 4500, you will get slightly over 11 minutes on a 5000.
So, when you first do the division, price comes to 29.6 mah per dollar for the 4500mah pack, and only 26.6mah per dollar for the 5000mah pack. So, you can see that mah per cost, the 4500mah pack is a better deal.
However, you must also account for the increased current capability of the 5000mah pack. Not only is it 11% more runtime, its 11% more current (15 amps). Not a lot, but could be the difference the larger spikes and surges.
Lastly, you should factor in weight. If the 5K pack is significantly heavier, then try to stick with the 4.5K pack. Plus, saving 72 bucks already puts you nearly 1/4 into a second pair...
So, it depends what is worth it to you. I would personally go with the lightest pack that I KNOW will have plenty of current for the setup. Based on the fact you are using 6S, current shouldn't be too high unless you have significant traction and about 10lb's of weight on the front bumper to let you shell out that kind of power.
I'd say the 4500mah are fine if you ask me, and are what I would get.
