Default Lithium Poly Batteries - The future of R/C!

Anyone get the new Xtreme RC Cars magazine? Well in it they have an article about Lithium Poly 8000mah batteries, they're definetly going to be the future of R/C. They did a head to head test with the lithium poly cells against GP3300's, here are the results...

Li-Po weight: 287g
GP3300 weight: 366g

Li-Po run time: 20 minutes
GP3300 run time: 6 minutes

Li-Po acceleration (0-60 feet):1.67 seconds @ 39.8mph
GP3300 acceleration (0-60 feet): 1.82 seconds @ 32.8mph

Li-Po top speed: 47.2
GP3300 top speed: 41.2
What does everyone think?
