I've read somewhere a manufacturer saying 2 cell packs are less problematic as far as imbalances go than 3 cell and above but I think that's not really entirely true.An imbalance between 3 cells can happen just as easily with 2 IMHO.
I added balance taps to all my older packs and was surprised how hard the balancers were working the first time.Looked like christmas tree lights blinking on and off :005: Far more than a new pack put on the same balancer so I have to assume they were pretty far out 20 or so cycles into their lifespan.
I balance about every couple 3 cycles now and find that works about right for me .

hope this helps
Steve
