With most of the "airsoft" lipo batteries...I personally don't think so.
BUT...with the caveat that if your mechbox can safely/nicely run a large 9.6v 3000+mAh battery, it'll be about the same. If you're mechbox is going to throw up on a good bit of usage with a 9.6v battery...it's not going to be any better with a LiPo.
Not all batteries are created equal...and just looking at the Voltage number doesn't tell the whole story.
On the of common airsoft LiPo's that you'll find are the little 11.1v 1100mAh 15C "stock tube" LiPo packs. To me...there's little performance difference between those and a nice 8.4v 3600mAh large (sub-C) Intellect pack or a 1400mAh 9.6v mini. Maybe a little snappier...but not much. They're sustained burst of fire characteristic suck though.
But...bump up to a 11.1v 2000mAh 20C LiPo "stock tube" pack...and there's a distinct difference.
Same with the 7.4v LiPo's...which are probably a "safer" bet for mechbox longevity. A 7.4v 2000mAh 20C pack is pretty mild (in my opinion)
The big benefit of a LiPo is squeezing power into a really small (or relatively smaller) and light package. I can get a decent power supply in my 249 para with a LiPo without having to resort to a PEQ box or rewiring for an alternate battery location.
If you want to see how it'll be without dumping a bunch of money on a LiPo charger and battery. Buy a large 9.6v battery and give 'er. You may find that you don't like the way the ROF of full auto ramps up really high and empties your mag really quick.
