Would the 7XL get there faster because its bigger rotor = more torque?

actually thats incorrect. the 7xl will NOT have to pull the same amount of amps to get to the same speed because of the higher gearing thus not having to work so hard. basically the torque allows you to gear higher for more speed while not pulling as many amps and having a higher efficiency.
also, i think that you should get BETTER runtime because of the motor pulling less amps.
