Thank you!

All of this is no different from the people who got screwed into buying maxamps crap, and they SWEAR that their 160c batteries are the real deal, or that their junk has never been faster until they bought maxamps.

It's a placebo effect, People are paying more, and consequently expecting more, so they subconsciously "THINK AND FEEL" more power/runtime etc etc...

It's no different then car guys who toss a air filter on, or a flowmaster, again, they expect something, and then claim to feel something more, when its been proven before on dynos, theres no added power, and the LITTLE bit that sometime's does get added, is by no means measurable by a human.
