Default TP 4200 vs. TP 5300 LiPo Batteries

Hi, I´m an ecuadorian pattern flyier and at the moment I´m looking to change to electrics, and nobody here or in Colombia has flown e-pattern yet, so I feel like a little guinea pig . My first option is a Hacker C50 14XL, Acro 90 ESC with 2 TP 5300-5S4P, however I´ve found that a single package of the TP 4200-10S2 could do fine, and most important saves 9 oz. Since I fly in Quito, which is at 9.000 feet of altitude!!!!! I´d like to know what have been your experience on these two configurations, and if there is a considerable lower charge consumption with the lighter batteries. Some experience from Colorado (7.000 feet) would be incredible!!! We are preparing a good F3A team for Argentina so please, any comments or suggestions about this big change in our pattern lifestyle would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
