SMC vs Turnigy Ultimate vs Revtech

I got sucked into the marketing and bought the brand spankin new Reedy Zappers. This was $80 shipped from Reedy directly.... go figure... here were the results:
Reedy Zappers 4800 110C 7.6V HV (charged to 8.4V)
mAh: 4099 mah
IR: 17 mOhms
Avg V: 7.51 V
Reedy Zappers 4800 110C 7.6V HV (charged to 8.6V)
mAh: 4466 mah
IR: 17 mOhms
Avg V: 7.56 V
Am I cynical for actually expecting that the mah will fall short? Honestly, I didn't think it would fall THAT short. We're talking 15% short when charged to 8.4V and 7% short when charged to 8.6V. I hope that this will improve after 10 cycles. But we'll see.
I would have thought that the average voltage would be higher. But, of course, it was not much. I highly doubt I would notice a 0.02 or 0.07 V difference when compared to the Ultimate Shorty.
Resistance wise, it looks just about as good as the cheaper batteries. As always, the proof will be in the pudding. I'll let you know once I get it on the track.

Sound the same to be true with most brands of batteries the more you pay the worst they are the only exception to the rule being the high-end Trinity batteries they really are far better than most I've had a thread on here testing about 40 batteries from all different brands using the ESR meter from Progressive to measure internal resistance
