H1 Battery CR123 or Li-Ion Battery Pack

Couldn't find an existing thread on this so here I go-

 

Which solution provides better performance, CR123s or the Lithium ion rechargeable? Is

one solution significantly lighter than the other? And what happened to the 8 AAA grip-

that seems to have disappeared?

 

The Lithium ion rechargeable battery and charger runs about $370 together- you can get

generic CR123s on eBay for $1/piece ($3 per battery full replacement). You would

probably want to get two rechargeable batteries which would kick the cost up closer to

$580 for the rechargeable power option.

 

Which would you do? If it's based on actual experience, that would be even better!

I'm pretty happy with the lithium battery performance on the H1, then again I must have been the only person on the planet who wasn't too upset with lithium batteries in the Contax 645 I used to use!

 

To put it in context, I'm easily getting thirty rolls plus of 220 film out of a set of lithium cells in the H1, that doesn't seem too high a battery price to me. Set against professional D&P charges it's nothing.
