In theory that sounds about right, but I think the 10s 2500 mAH pack would still be bigger. The weight should be really close though. The problem with running 10s is there aren't a whole lot of ESCs on the market to run that unless you get an air ESC and go through the trouble to make it work. MGM has some ESCs that'll handle it but you're looking at $500+ to get one. Lutach has a 10s ESC though, it seems to be pretty good so far. Not sure what price but they seem to be great ESCs for the price.
