| 10s requires high voltage capable ESCs. Depending on the pack choice, you might end up with a heavier heli which might offset the gain you might have from a high powered setup.
If you are increasing from 6s5000 to 10s5000, due to reduced current requirement, your pack will last longer with longer flight time for each flight. But, you typically endup using lower capacity packs for 10s so the load on the pack will most likely be a wash.
With initial introduction of 20c packs, there was a current delivery problem which was solved by going higher cell count. But, with introduction of 25-30c cells, that is not true anymore. So the advanges seem to get blurred.
We run both 6s and 9s version of Trex600. 9s is heavier than 6s by about 1/2 lb but both perform equally well.
