I have also used the Sony battery.  It is nice to have a spare in my transmitter box.  One time I went to fly and didn't check the battery.  Probably 2 or 3 seconds after breaking ground first flight of the day, this loud alarm goes off.  Non stop beeping.  Quickly land the plane (less than perfect landing and I wasn't going around again) Turns out the battery was at 25% I think.  The second pack allowed me to continue flying.

 

I have also changed the springs.  I like Tony at Radio South but I would recommend the futaba heavy springs available from Tower for under $3.  They are bent better than the ones Tony sells and not as stiff.  Sort of between stock and his.  The ends are bent better to make installation easier.  I would say similar in complexity to the 9Z.
