If you are sure you got 10+ years out of your house batteries, why would you not go back with the same brand? I had some fun with a Interstate battery rep a couple years ago when I asked him for help deciding if I should go back with their batteries. What's the problem he asked... "they are only 10 years old and still going strong".:B
I agree with Mr.Mark that AGM's are worth the money to me. Have not had to sandblast and paint the battery box/bay in eight years... yes, my AGMs are eight years old and still strong.
