Another interesting option below.  Who is flying the A123 batteries?  Any feedback is welcome

Yes I have used it, if only for one flight. It works as advertised, a 
very nice product for current hungry planes. It's also easier to install 
since it does not require as much wiring. If you use A123 or Nimh packs 
they can be wired directly into the receiver, no switch and no 
regulators in line. 

As a footnote, when I used it I had two A123 lithium packs, one powered 
only the receiver as "Batt 1" and the other powered the reciver as 
"Batt-2" and also powered the ignition. I have done this mow several 
times with Spektrum receivers with no problem whatsoever. The A123 packs 
have so much capacity it seemed a shame to carry even more for the ignition.
