Ah yes, that complicates matters considerably. And true, Li-Ion is still a better price (and higher density to boot). But it's worth monitoring this because at some point there will be a crossover.

Indeed there will be. In North America, batteryhookup.com has A123, Headway and CATL cells at a pretty okay price. The CATL cells still aren't worth it IMO, but the Headway LiFePO4 cells can push a ridiculous amount of current, something like 200A from a single cell.

Yes, they're crazy. Batteryhookup is an interesting company, they're very well known in the homebrew powerwall scene.

Here's to hoping that the next battery revolution will come in on time and that we'll see some real economies of scale here.
