Do we need 6-8poles motors for 1/8 ep?

I'll take my GTP for example.

With the C50 Hacker, I can accelerate faster then a 4 pole Neu counterpart. , Based on my experience topend is the same in both. The 4 poler can pull taller gearing, but at the cost of amperage. Not so good for me as I use A123 cells in 1P format.
So for equal topend under load, my C50 4000kv motor is equivalent to my Plettenberg 3000kv motor. But the Hacker can get to the finish line a bit faster. That if I don't blow tires up.

Speedruns I can go with either 2-4 pole motors as I'm limited by the 60k motor rmp. 1/10 scale motors I can push a bit further, especially with the Lehner basic, LT motors, and c40 hackers.
