I think the basic idea is that to do the same amount of work, if you raise the voltage, you will need less amps to perform said work. Generally speaking, I usually pick the highest cell count I can run on an esc, then pick a motor with a KV that gives me a RPM that I'm comfortable with. Since I use mainly fegaios, that is in the 35,000 rpm range. I don't worry about much else, because I know that higher voltage is the most efficient way to run.

Methinks you overengineer this a bit. ;) Asking questions is good tho! :)
