When cells are good for this high discharge, they have got a very low internal ressistance, and that's why they wont get as hot as the usual cells. and it depends on the material they use for molding. every pack has got an unbalance in temperature, in the different cells. It will add weight, that's for sure, but they are safer too. small price to pay.
The price IS low, and they are simple superior to the maxamps...

they are 180 dollars and the maxamps is 150....., true, the maxamps are 4200 mah, vs 3700.. but for the amount of energy they can deliver, i would take those over the maxamps' any day...

the maxamps weight 477 and these babies 376...... that is quite some difference there too.. So their energy/mass ratio is also superb compared to the maxamps.. (19C peak vs 30C peak, and remember, those cells stay at 3.2V on 30C discharge, i think those maxamps will drop to the 3.0V at those loads)

all and all together made me descide that those cells are the bomb, being cheap, lightweigt AND powerfull..

And my guess is that those maxamps packs will drop below the 3.2V at a 15C discharge allready, and those 3700's drop to these volages at 30C!!!!

i personally compared them to the FMA's, (which are more at their level) and then the price difference is even better.
