Default Lipo question

Appologies I this has been answered before, did a quick search but couldn't find the answer.

I have at the moment some xcelorin 5200 60c saddle lipos. Am I right in saying the 60c is the maximum discharge?

The reason I ask is I need to get some new lipos and have been looking at the gens ace ones from giantshark. They say 5100 25c, but when you look at the tech spec, they state maximum discharge of 50c. So are these only 10c below the xcelorin's I have at present. If so is it worth twice the cost for 10c more? To add to this my speedo is only rated at 80A, with a peak of 120A. So the lipos deliver 127-255A. So would the speedo be the weak link and no matter how good my batteries were, would the speedo limit the output? Therefore is it not worth getting 'decent' batteries untill I upgrade my speedo

Thanks in advance

I have 1 pack of Orion 5500 90c cells
I also have 1 pack of HPI plasma 5600 60c cells

Difference between them? Nothing.
Cells these days can deliver sooooo much more power than we will ever need (except maybe mod touring cars)
Get the gens ace ones and don't worry about it - they are great cells IMO
