MW products are top notch. The reason that they print for a 9v is that a LOT of the rocket community still uses the 9v. I know at least two guys that put fresh 9v in their Dual Deploy rockets at the start of the season, and literally do not change them out until the end of the launch season.....and they never have an electronics related failure.
For us newer tech folks, there are literally a dozen different LiPos that are almost exactly 50% the size of a 9v and will fit in the same pocket quite easily, so it's an easy 'standard' battery box size to default to.
