LiPo and LiHV packs are the same price wherever I look (assuming you're comparing equivalent "race grade" packs).

SMC have come out and stated that these "graphene" packs are equivalent to LiHV. I've done my own tests with my LiHV and LiPo packs and also found there's no advantage to LiHV discharge curves.
