288gb Note 2 N7102 with an 8500 mAh battery

I wouldn't mind buying the battery with cover but I'm wondering how long the battery actually lasts. I purchased two 3500 mAh batteries (presumably higher than stock) which lasts 10 hours if I'm lucky. I use them as back ups.

"presumably" is a good way to describe it :) I run a test on so called 4200 mAh Gold battery (OEM footprint) and someone else in XDA run a test on a few presumably high-capacity ebay batteries - we confirmed each one to be about 2000 mAh. So, that's what you probably got as well. If you want a spare battery with OEM footprint, someone else tested Anker 3100 mAh and found it to have capacity of 3250 mAh.

That is awesome, but not sure I'd spend that type of money just to do a custom job on a phone. Still give major props on that though.

I guess if you have the money, why not lol.

IF I had that kind of money there's no way in hell I'd by the parts then DIY.
I'd have called Samsung & paid them to make me a custom phone; the skies the limit on storage.

I'd be nice if they took custom orders. I'd have done one a long time ago.

Customization rumors are the reasons I'm intrigued by the Motorola X.
