Yes You guys have 4. May make a bit of a difference..
But if you look at my test and my 70 amp draw I ran this for about an hour.
I technically have 220 AH's. Although I didnt pull from the truck batt as expected, with inverter losses I pulled the batts down to some 60% per hydro readings.
AH's are AH's. It would seem if I kept going a bit after alarm I would have successfully pulled the 100 ah's /50% from the batts.
70 amp draw x 1 hour should equate to 70 + ah's out of battery with losses. But Peukerts law comes into play.

Two 6 volts @ 225 ah's im sure would perform the same discharge wise but with a more pronounced voltage drop.
But I cant prove this unless someone out there in internet land either trys it, or I buy 6 volts myself and try it.
Its a secret the 6 volts guys are not talking about....LOL
But not too repeat myself I can easily get rid of my high amp draw items and live a happy life with 6 volters I am sure.
From what I read a 70 amp draw on 6 volts for say 10 minutes and I would assume your inverter will be beeping away.. ( 2- 6 ers, not 4...)
