And am I just as well served going 72v lead-acid and saving the $$ ?
(And if this isn’t heresy here, we also have looked at Onward, but just about as confusing, and haven’t found comparison thread(s) here yet)
Thanks!

The lithium packs used for the formally 72V carts leaves much to be desired! Avoid the factory lithium packs on those carts if you intend to have a trouble free life of using them. Right from the factory, they are compromised by the lower pack voltage. The motor must be provided more current in order to retain rotor lock at the reduced operating voltage. If you expect it to perform the same, long term, as the 72V lead/acid packs, it will not. It would be far better to upgrade a 72V lead/acid cart to aftermarket lithium at a later date than to waste money on the factory lithium packs on an L6. The S4 Elites now being offered are nothing more than a cosmetically altered RXV Elite, so you might as well just buy an RXV Elite!
