Maybe a better comparison given the cost of NiFe is against LiFe? LiFe can do 1000's of 100% deep discharge cycles and has high efficiency. A123 quotes 7,000 - 100% depth of discharge cycles at 1C charge/discharge rates. LiFe does decay in storage capacity just sitting there though. Not sure how much for A123.
I could see hybrid systems using a combination of battery types as the most cost effective and efficient overall.
