Default RE: Li-Poly Voltage Fall off?

ORIGINAL: Greg Covey
........Lithium cells hold there voltage fairly level until they are depleted. Once depleted, the voltage drops fast. This is far different from our NiCd/NiMH packs which are strongest in the first few minutes of flight..........
I am new into electric. If the power drops so rapidly at the end of the discharge cycle, would it be wise to skip the BEC and take the penalty of a separete receiver/servos-battery (small lipo) to safeguard the power to the controls once the "main" power battery is depleted?
