All this talk about testing...the only number that matters to me is my laptimes. So long as the product is safe and reliable, I could care less what the little sticker on the outside says. No matter what gets printed, someone somewhere can make claim that it's not accurate or not using the same measurement as others.

The testing I want to see is on the track. Nothing else matters. I don't use my LiPo's in a lab somewhere. I use them out on the track, if they can deliver there (and of course they are safe), they get my stamp of approval.

As for the price issue, if you think the prices are too high there is a very easy fix, don't buy them. It's that simple. Not everyone drives a BMW, not everyone wears designer clothes, not everyone buys name brand pharmaceuticals. Often times premium pricing is premium because the seller can get it! If they can, more power to them.
