FWIW, $179 is the cost for the stick H+ 5,250 mAh packs. The H520 packs in fancy orange are $199. So $179 for a pack with 40% more capacity is a total winner in my book.
No idea on the differences in weight now. I don't recall seeing weight specs. Weight however is not generally a linear relationship with capacity. The weight increase is usually slightly less than the capacity increase. For instance, I have packs with 50% more capacity (same cell count and C rating) that weight about 40% more to get that 50% increase in capacity.
I'll still give them a try, see how it goes.
EDIT: the 7,300 mAh Venom packs are listed at 584 grams. I don't have the weight of the stock 5,250 mAh pack to compare it to.
Ummm... That point has been made already. There is no disputing that flight times will increase, the question is by how much. It will not match the increase in capacity, that is certain.
The motors and ESCs will have to work harder to lift the increased weight. Does anyone know off-hand what the H+/520 ESCs are rated at?
So the motors will work harder, get hotter and potentially last a shorter time. How much less? Who knows? The MTBF for these little motors is usually not known so it will be hard to evaluate this.

Perfect. So if the Venom specs are real there is only an 14 gram (0.49 ounces) increase in weight to get 2,050 mAh increase in capacity. Seems like weight will not be an issue.
