That sounds right to me as well, I do not believe capacitors have the proper characteristics to store large amounts of energy and supply it in a controlled manner. I would think of a battery as a smoldering coal fire and a capacitor as a stick of TNT. They may have the same total energy available, but I wouldn't want to try to heat my house with TNT.
