I agree. This would be a clear case of over-engineering. If we go to higher energy density, I'd much rather have a battery that came in at 25%-50% of the weight of current batteries but was fully capable of lasting a hard-fought match. The full-weight, long-lasting batteries would be great to have for demos and practice time, of course!
