Default Your every day battery question?

i know that this has been covered many times but i just need a good clarification and explanation. ok so you have the number of cells in series in a lipo (s).

then you have the cells in parallel (p).

so for example if i have a 5000mah 2s 40c lipo it would be 7.4v
and if i had the same battery but as a 2s2p setup this would give me 10000mah? correct??
so i would have the same amount of output from that battery but a longer duration...

so really if im going to buy a battery it might as well be a 2s2p instead of just 2s right?
