Lithium Or Alkaline Batteries?

[Dan30Cal]

So I was curious if there was any advantages to using Lithium batteries instead of alkaline, besides them being less weight, longer shelf life, ect...?
They do cost about twice as much for a 4-pack of AA batteries...
But would they last longer? Less weight would be nice.
I'm thinking about testing this in my Ace 250, yay or nay?

Yes they last longer and I have them in my ace.

F2 and F4 user have to be careful with the 9volt batteries because they are a little bigger and could break the battery retainer.

I buy Alkaline batteries for cheap in bulk. They last 30-40 hours on average. I get the 48 pack for $6.95 locally. Thats cheap enough for me I don't really worry about the difference lol.
