Has anyone tried out Turnigy's A123 knockoffs? From the numbers, the trade-off of a lower C rating for a fraction of the price seems pretty good. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?catname=LiFePo4&idCategory=218&ParentCat=85

I haven't tried them, but there's some reviews on RCGroups, among others: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1206770
They use flat cells, so they won't make direct replacements for the A123 cells, and seem to inferior in general.
