I checked a lot of places and didn't find any good deals on the AGM's and since the budget is a little cramped right now decided to replace them with the same GC15's that were there for the past five years+. I didn't get a steal on them either, but don't have to drive over 180 miles round trip or pay a crazy freight charge to get them home. The extra $10 per battery to buy from my local guy can be recovered when I make him buy lunch a couple times.
