How critical is it to have batteries of 5000mah and above?

Are there any advantage over batteries of say 3200 /3800mah batteries?

Any comments would be appreciated.
We've got lots of different lipos.. 25c 3200 tp... 40c 5000 intellect..50c 6000 max amps 30c 42000 cheapos!
def more punch from the higher c lipos but the only real benefit to average drivers is you can run 2 heats without fully topping up after the 1st one. def wont get away with that with tp 3200...
