When I once made a post like this, someone replied like this:
The 6V system is typically a LITTLE better, but not worth spending extra $$ to switch over....
As I've thought about this over the years- it was extremely good advice- the A-hour difference is typically not earth-shattering while the $$ to completely replace things is.
The other goofy twist is the option to have an "A-B-Both" switch that could concievably help you with a backup scenario or keep you from being dead if something happened with one battery.
