Mind you, a motor with Kv=1000 on 5cells is will give the same results the same motor wound for Kv=500 on 10cells.

Nitpicking:
Kv is a parameter, not a unit, therefore Kv=1000rpm/Volt, not 1000Kv.

In principle yes, but in practice no! Doubling the number of cells from 5s to 10s reduces the current to half and thus all losses in the motor, speed controller and cables are reduced by a factor 4! The losses in the battery due to its internal resistance is reduced by a factor 2. Also, because of the lower current demand less strain is put on the battery, thus increasing its lifespan.
