Default Himax 2015 4100 or 5400?

(Happy Thanksgiving!)

Ok guys,

Need your thoughts. I want to run a 11-4.7 or 12-6 prop on a cc25 speed controller. I plan on ordering the himax motor and gearbox set with heat sink on it but can't decide between the 4100 or the 5400. I've heard that the 4100 gets too hot on the 12x6 prop and that it really hurts the motor to use that. Would the 5400 be a better choice. At this time I'm using all 3 cell tp1320 packs so I'd like to keep the same batteries too. This motor will be on a 40 inch 3dfoamy plane.

Any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to order this soon!
