The Kastars claim 200 mah more capacity, and have slightly larger diameter contacts, but I suspect the former is marketing and the Tenergy contacts are large enough.

Yes, as long as you will be charging them externally in a smart charger (designed for NiMH cells) these cells will probably last several times longer (of actual use) than the originals. Note that NiMH cells do self-discharge at a higher rate than NiCD, so these are not best for long shelf-life (or sitting in a machine not in use), but will provide about the best runtime you can get for a Woodstock or Spice. I agree with your assessment, Tenergy are one of the best brands available.
