Yet I do understand that the BEC also drives the internal circuitry of the MMM so they don't want someone cranking up the voltage and frying the ESC circuits. Of course there is a BUT to that as well, they could've just thrown a 5V zener diode on the feed to their circuitry to regulate their circuits at 5V and still allowed the user a BEC range of say 5V - 7.5V

Either way, like Jeff said, I can't fell the difference either way (just the gnawing thought in the back of my head that it's not a full 6V). I feel lucky to have just gotten 2 MMM's from the first batch that appear to be running properly and have not died after 2-3 runs on 5s and 6S pushing between 400 and 1500 watts.
Actually, we wish we could have put the CC BEC on it as well. There just wasn't enough room though...not enough pins on the processor as I understand it.
