I consider that to be minor in the scheme of things as Beacon's flywheels have some pretty unique materials.

The better advantage that I see vs batteries in short term regulation is that batteries can only discharge to the grid because if they pull too much to quickly they can damage the batteries where flywheels can both discharge energy to and remove energy from the grid.
