Hey! Yes the digital models use more power than the analog units, but is only about 5-10% more. I have 1100mah packs in both my gas truck and XR buggy and have no problem making one hour mains. I am using the 5925 for the truck and a 5945 for the buggy.

As a general rule of thumb a coreless will center better than a brushed servo, but its very hard to tell the difference. The most precise centering comes from the digital servos due to the fact they check their position 300 times a second vs 50 for a anolog unit. TTYL.
