IIRC most outrunners are 10-12 poles. The align motor is just an inside out mega 6 pole motor. The spinning can adds some mass, and helps in the heli enviorment where motor speed is optimium in a very small window.

Plus most escs are going to have a hard time working a 12 pole motor at higher rpm.

After running an align motor, it was too slow to spool up, and ran too hot for my liking. Most heli guys upgrade the 600xl to a 19 series Neu... I would certainly take a neu over a align, better comparision would be a medusa, and the 70mm versions from medusa should be great.
