Yeah, I just picked up a four-pack of the 2650's the other day to play around with. My main reason for going with the Energizer 2500's somewhat by default is that I just have so many of them already that I use with my photo gear (a couple of dozen or more, anyway). I'll likely slowly cycle those out -- and I, too, have seen some bad cells with the Energizers. Some don't quite live as long as others, in any case.
