Follow-up: Decided to go with the smaller batteries for cost and application reasons, we don't have a lot of time when we aren't plugged in (full timers) and also have an Onan 10k generator so this transition was mostly for the cooler overnights where heat (aqua hot) was needed and we didn't need to run the ac's. Installation was a snap, they are not quite as tall but fit the footprint of the battery compartment just fine. Made a test run of the batteries after installation for a little while before plugging back in and had enough power to run the residential refer for a bit and the inverter didn't trip off in 5 minutes like it had been because of the low battery voltage that showed up within minutes of going on inverter panel due to the age of the old batteries. Those old Lifeline's we quite heavy, even the Insterstates were about 63 pounds each. So, after changing my inverter settings, i was good to go after plugged in and charging overnight and they are now float charging at 13.4 volts.
Hoping the capacity will work for us and these set of batteries takes us a couple years without any troubles.
