if you want to talk ampHrs cycled, and discharge the lithium bank to 20% SOC
you 'can' have a smaller size lithium bank with the same 'safely cyclible' number of ampHrs as a larger lead acid bank
In other words - smaller physical size for the same amount of usable energy. Could we agree on this wording? :)
Physical size and shape of 12V 100AH Li is often the same as 12V 100AH flooded. They do it on purpose so that people could just "drop in" Li in place of flooded. This is why they call it "drop-in replacement".
Weight is important for RV users. Li units weigh 3-4 times less, in usable AH per pound.
