Opinion on BLHeli closed loop with Arducopter?

Hello all!

I'm looking for advice on the closed loop mode of BLHeli ESC firmware with regards to Arducopter.

The benefit of the closed loop should be better control performance of the attitude control, but there could be a number of side effects...

For example, if the throttle is compensated against voltage drop due to battery getting depleted, the control loop also inherently compensates for it, so it gets a little out of hand. Or there could be excessive current loss due to motor control and decrease flight time. Or... I dunno.

So does any of you have experience using the closed loop mode? Is it worth it, or does it break any features of Arducopter?
