6-cell v 4-cell

Hi guys, need some help in deciding between a 4-cell or a 6 cell 1/12. Had been running my 6-cell CK for a year and now its all worn out. Time for a new car i suppose. But i had to determine between a 4-cell or a 6-cell. Most of the drivers at the track i go drives 6-cell cars. The problem is that many of them are running brushless and 15/17 turns motor, so the speed on the straight is rather insane(We run on a big high bite asphalt track). I myself had been running a 17 double but it just is not enough against the brushless motors.

So, my question is, what is the difference in handling between a 4-cell and a 6-cell car. Would a modified 4-cell stands against a brushless 6-cell? And would having an extra battery pack for the servo makes a difference on a 4-cell car?

Thanks for the info guys.
