If/When I look for new electronics for an onroad car, the weight is a factor in my decision. You may not think it is worth mentioning, but obviously I think it is worth mentioning.

I don't disagree that a Brushless should last longer and draw less power. I haven't really worn out any of the motors in my brushed servos, but a brushless should be better for a longer period of time.... Assuming you keep your servos for a long time.

Now back to the weight issue. Somebody puts two Brushless servos into their car at 60 grams each. I currently use a 9452 and a 9550 in my sedan. My servos weigh 25 grams less than your servos. How much money will you spend on titanium screws, or titanium pillow balls or whatever to save 25 grams? It all adds up. Remember that at the next club race you run where they aren't weighing the cars.
