There may be an upside to the lower C systems. I would liken it to the difference between Diesel and Gas powered vehicles. You can have a 400hp/600ft-lb gasoline motor, and a 300hp,600ft-lb diesel. The spec sheet on that car would be fantastic compared to the diesel - but I wouldn't pick the gas motor for towing.
Take your data to a respected automotive engineering college. I suspect you will have open ears (and minds) there. The downside would be give open liscense to a technology, for them to develop further. The upside is that it is good for all of us down the line.

Datasheets of real world testing, not just datasheets of the cells I mentioned. In fact, one of the cells was pushed even further then what the datasheet stated. Some tanks have a nice hybrid system. You think some of those jet powered tanks are actually propelled by the jet engine? No. One of the drive train I can get was meant for a 200mph+ race car, but the program was scrapped due to some fools testing out part of the system in another country and it caused some major damage mainly due to human error. The car itself was fully tested and would've made history if the program continued. All the stuff I talk about have been fully tested, but somehow never makes it and who knows the reason why. I've contacted major scientist in regards to very high C rate cells and they all said, the higher the C rate of the cell the higher charge rate it'll allow. The only upside so far of a lower C rated cell is the price, but things can change with new technologies. I like the power of a diesel and it has proven itself, but the addiction to gas seems much higher than expected.
Good thing you mentioned to take my data to respected automotive engineers and I have done that. Not only that I have given my data to most engineers that work for companies I sell Electronic Components to and they were amazed on how easy it can be. Most of the electronic engineers told me I can go from NY to CA and back to NY on a single charge. Now the automotive engineers told me it could never happen, but they were amazed on the data I showed them. The only things is, they don't know where to get the technology and my main ideas were not mentioned. Ford (Brasil), GM (Brasil), Fiat (Brasil), Toyota (Brasil), Mosler (USA) and a few more. They all listened, but they a seem brain washed except for Mosler who definitely showed an interest.
Now I said a 41Ah cell (Not as powerful as the others, but a medium power cell) was used in a voltage similar to the Tesla's voltage and that set up and they got 120 miles out of it. That same set up was also used in some race cars with similar results. So the technology is fully tested and not something I'm making up.
