Medusa 2S or 3S for CRT.5? -

Hey All,
I now have two e-crt.5s.
CRT.5 #1 - is my wife's that is built with a stock ofna chassis and buggy wheels, and run it with a Mamba Side Winder and 4600 motor. I kept it as light as possible and don't have heat issues running on 2S maxamps 4200 batts.
CRT.5 #2 - is my original crt.5 with a RCM chassis, my Revo shock upgrade, truck wheels and Novak GTB/6.5 system. It has a lot of aluminum upgrades and is a lot heavier than the other. I run it on 4800 or 5000 hardpack 2S batts.
My beefed up crt.5 is ready for more motor to go with it's mini-monster look. I'm trying to decide between a (Medusa 50mm 5900kv on 2S) or a (Medusa 50mm 3300kv on 3S).
5900 on 2S (95amp cont, 115amp peak)
Pro - would be better because I could share lipos with my 10th scale race vehicles
Con - Will probably run hotter and be harder on batts due to the higher amp draw
3300 on 3S (75amp cont, 90amp peak)
Pro - probably run cooler and be easier on batts plus may have more punch
Cons - have to buy 2 new batts just for this setup
What do you think?
E-CRT.5 Monster - RCM chassis, MM/Medusa 50x3300/3s, truck tires, 1/8 shocks
E-CRT.5 Stock - Sidewinder/4600/2s, buggy tires
E-8ight - Tekin RX8 2000kv/4S
E-8ight T- Tekin RX8 1700kv/5S
