Trouble understanding/picking LiPo (C-rating, power, etc)

Hey all,

I'm looking to get into LiPo batteries, but after sorting through some interesting threads on here, I can't really determine which one is right for me based on my setup. I'm worried what I choose may not provide me with enough power.

I have a guarder infinite torque up motor shooting an SP110 at 430fps - soon to be an SP100 which I'm going to guess will be around 400fps. An 8.4V nimh will not spin the motor/spring - and a 9.6v does a good job. On a side note, the internals are all upgraded and using low resist wire and deans.

I was looking at the turnigy batteries listed on airsoft store canada, more specifically the Nano-Tech 7.4V 1200mah 15C Stick Battery. I've heard conflicting opinions that a battery with a low C rate like 15 won't work well for a higher demand setup like mine (sort of) is. Is this a totally wrong assumption? I'm looking for good trigger response as I will be using this gun mostly in semi and sometimes 3rd burst from the MERF3.2 mosfet installed.

Any recommendations on what battery I would get the most out of would be most appreciated!

Thanks
