That doesn't look like a horrible deal. However, like I said, the A123s have far superior power density. The GBS cells can only put out 10C pulse where as the A123s can put out 18C pulse. Their life is also supposidly much longer than Chinese prysmatic type cells. The only ones that seem to have a rival cell IMO is CALB's new CA type cells (the grey ones).
