I also have some very high end analogs from JR, they work just fine. Yes digitsals use more power but hold better through there complete range. Batteries have also come a long way. Not long ago if you had a 1000 mah you were pumping power, I think today my smallest battery is 2500 and goes up to 4500. People thought you were nuts to be running a 6 volt too. It was considered over kill and looked down on. All that stuff about discharge rate. I think I only have two 4.8s left and in use. Everything just keeps changing so fast I can't keep up with it all.[&:]
