Default Thoughts on 4s versus 6s in large scale RC

Hello all, I'm looking to get some responses from those of you that have experience on runtime and durability/lifespan of batteries.

Question - assuming the same Mah rating of say 5000, will a 6s battery have a longer runtime than a 4s? Meaning, if i drive my RC at the same speed and never tap into the harder acceleration and higher top speed, will a higher voltage battery give me longer runtimes?

By virtue of not running it as hard, will the 6s battery as compared to the 4s last longer because I will not be running it as hard?

I'm getting into larger scale and I'm not a speed freak, but if more voltage and cells means a longer life for my batteries (assuming I can stay out of the throttle) then I'm all for it!
