I found that the standard Eneloops were better for my KX3 than the Eneloop Pro. While the Eneloop Pro has a higher total capacity at lower rates of discharge than the standard Eneloop, my samples had a higher internal resistance than the standard Eneloop. That translated into a greater voltage sag when operating at 10 watts with the Eneloop Pro cells compared to the standard Eneloops, and so a shorter period of time before 5 watts was maximum transmission power limit, and end of useful charge even at 5 watts came more quickly with the Pro cells compared to the standard cells.
I'm sorry I don't have more hard numbers to present, and perhaps I just had a bad batch of Eneloop Pro cells, but it does make sense to me that in order to get 20% more capacity at low discharge rates, internal resistance, which is more critical at high discharge rates, might have to be sacrificed.
