Default Aeroworks 50cc Yak Setup

Currently I have an Aerowroks Yak 50cc with a Zenoah G62 that is in the proccess of being switched over to electronic ignition. I need help with batteries. I currently have 1 2400mah fromeco li-on on reviever with a fromeco regulator. I now need a battery for my new EI system on my G62 but im trying to keep the weight to a minimum. What should i do? I was thinking of doing a 2600mah fromeco for the EI but from what it sounds like 2400mah is not enough for the reciever. Should I just use the 2400 fromeco on the EI and get like a 4800 fromeco with a reg? Im starting to think to much.
What would be the best (possibly lightest) setup?

I don't see why you couldn't use a 2400 on the rx. It should only have 5 servos. I think another 2400 would work just fine. I have two JR4500mah nicd packs but they're pretty heavy and I'm probably going to get a set of li-on 2400's.

I've been running 5, hitec 5955 and 1 hitec 5925 in the same plane with a 2400 fromeco and can log 12, 12 minute flights with power to spare. Not sure you need to go to the 4800 pack.

Is it worth the extra money to do a a123 setup?

Extra money? I guess if you count the charger it is extra, but the cells are no more than $19 each. Not sure what a fromeco goes for these days...
As for your setup, if the 2400 has worked up until now, stick with it. For the ignition, keep it simple - a 4-cell 1100-1500mah nimh is plenty and only weighs 4-5 ounces.
