Think of C rating as how long a full burst of power can be applied before it tapers off. These are only numbers used as an example not real so all you techies don't bash me just trying to show why the higher C rating is better.
25C - can apply maximum power for 3 seconds
50C - can apply maximum power for 5 seconds
90C - can apply maximum power 8 seconds
100C - can apply maximum power 10 seconds.
You can see an advantage down the straight or a big jump. Especially if you have a amp drawing motor and need that boost for the big table top or triple.
