A balancer will add a bit of cost, but a lipo should give about 100 cycles min, and a really good nimh pack may do half that before it has a serious capacity reduction...
So factor a $80 6 cell matched 4200-4600mah nimh, a $130 ICE, $60 power supply, and then a second $80 nimh wen the first has worn out... $350
Or a $120 trakpower 4900 2s lipo, $130 ICE charger, $60 power supply, and a $40 balancer... $350
No contest...

Preaching to the choir Brother pimp......
I would rather have a cheap set of lipo packs than a high end set of nimh any day.

You just made the rest of this thread pointless with that post.
