Depends on the purpose of the mission. Flying for fun or to deliver packages agility is probably more important. Flying for surveillance perhaps it would be better to be in the air longer.

To be fair, what's going to happen to the drone shipping industry is probably the same thing that happened to the naval shipping industry: we will converge somewhere at local minima between super-fast and super-cheap shipping times.

So I could see how fitting the batteries everywhere in the drone might just work. But at the same time I don't see why no one is yet shaping the batteries for the frame itself.
