New to lipo's and have a charging/discharging question?

So, I am looking at buying a charger to charge mostly lipo cells and the occasional Ni cell. I have narrowed down to the Hyperion 0610i and the Bantam BC610. These two charges seem close in feature except for the discharge capability of the Bantam which it has. Looking at the latest software update for the Hyperion they have added a discharge but at only 300mA, very slow, correct me if I am wrong. So how important is discharge where lipo cells are concerned?

Thanks for your time and infrmation,
