Default 4 or 5 motors on CC

Quick question for you guys...Which do you think would run faster on a CC like the new 42 MTI with 5 Merc Optimax 300 or 4 Seven Marine?

The lbs per HP for the Merc is 1.68 and the Seven Marine is 1.87 lbs per HP. (only calculating weight of motors)

Merc seems to have more power for the weight but would also have the additional drag of the fifth motor...

thanks for your input guys...
