New Power Pack Kits

I'm not really sure where this question goes, but I see FliteTest has revamped their Power Pack offerings and am curious about their reception in the FT community.

I also noticed that the only way to purchase the old C Pack motor (Radial 2218/1180kV) is by buying the whole Power Pack kit. I don't need the whole kit (the price is getting a little steep, but want to still support FT), but don't see a comparable motor in their store:
  • The EMAX 2215/1100kv doesn't recommend a 4s battery. It also seems a little smaller than the old C Pack Radial.
  • The FT2814/1100kv has a ton of power, but is much heavier than the old C Pack.
What's everyone going to use in place of the old C Pack motor? Anybody know if FT will offer just the old 2218/1180kv on their store again?

I've gone to the 2217 Cobra motors, a little pricey but smooth, smooth, smooth.

Much obliged for your speedy replies. I've built a ton of foamboard planes, but never deviate too far from the recommended electronics.

The EMAX 2215/1100kv works great on 4s, I run it on 4s all the time in my FT Legacy. It wont even get hot!
for the price its a really good motor. sometimes I think that its better than the new FT C pack motor.
BTW my props on my Legacy are 9x4.5 non-slowfly.
