Personally, I agree. That "measly" 2% can make a pretty big difference when we are talking about the power levels we run. At 88% efficiency, a motor drawing, say, 500w, but would have 440w of usable output, with 60w wasted as heat - a lot considering the physical motor size. An extra 2% reduces wasted power to 50w - still a lot, but even that 10w difference can translate to a few degrees in reduced temperature and/or increased runtime.
