Hi George,
I'm in the same situation and have decided to go with the FlightPower 
5350's. Even when the 5300's were fresh, I occasionally felt like I could 
use a little more punch, particularly on humid or windy days. I've competed 
with a number of guys that had both the TP 5300's and FP 5350's who would 
switch to the 5350's when they needed the extra power. My plan is to use the 
FP 5350's and change props for different conditions. Nothing is free however 
and you'll pick up 2 ounces in the process. I considered the 5000 mah 10S 
packs from both TP and FP but can't afford to gain 4 ounces in either of my 
existing planes. The FP 5350's are the best solution for my situation. Mine 
just arrived this week and won't be flown until the snow melts so my 
recommendations come from observations rather than experience at this point. 
I bought mine directly from FlightPower  http://www.flightpower.com  .  Hope 
this helps.

Verne Koester
