10C in a large format prismatic is pretty nice! I will have a closer look at them. Your MG must run great with that pack.
Gotta go find that Damien short circuit video. During my cell testing, I made a white hot piece of 12 ga wire. Didn't take very long to change color! The a123 pouch didn't have any problem filling the 'load' of 18" of 12 ga wire.

Not that you're looking for other cells, but you might look into CALiBpower's new CA cell. I've installed it in my MG and Jack has tested them at 10C discharging with ~15% sag +or-. I'm using CA100 cells, which are similar in size and wt. to SE100, but are much "stiffer" in the sag department. Unfortunately, I was a few parts short and didn't bring my car to EVCCON so I don't a data to offer you at this time. However, a guy called Damien from Ireland has tested the CA180 by dead-shorting a cell with a spanner. Check out his youtube video - search: CALB Grey Cell Test 01 : Half impulse. Warning: his method is not for the faint of heart - spanner turned white hot @ 2000A.
