Does anyone have a link to a power/torque curve for a brushless motor?

I'm not particularly concerned about actual numbers, but having now driven a decent brushless install I'd like to see the shape of the performance curves, to compare them with the way it felt on track.

Is it basically constant torque low down into constant power through the rest of the rev range; or somewhere between that and a brushed motor?

I have seen power curves quoted in adverts for brushless motors, and they are exactly the same as the brushed motors they are comparing them with but with about 5% extra power everywhere.
I didn't think this was right, but can't do my own tests because all the motor dynos locally tie in with the motors power supply, which just won't work with a brushless.
