With the good 25C packs and the same draw you'll actually build some heat in the pack and the pack will perform better resulting in a better lap time for you.
And by heat I mean "more than ambient" NOT like 125 degrees!
As for the two batteries you mention specifically I couldn't tell you, ONLY because I have never used either of them.
Adam this is one of the best things on this thread that I have seen posted in a while. I have been running 25c packs for the 2 yrs I have been racing and everyone else is running all of the crazy c ratings that are out there. They are best for Mod racing. The amp draw is just not there, even with the new versions of software that are out. Though this may be a little different than running a 13.5 but just with the "hotter" esc's. My pack comes off around 90deg after a five min run. I dont have any fade what so ever after my run.
