Should I replace my batteries?
My two 6V Interstate batteries have been doing very well. They were installed by the dealer before we took delivery of our new X19H in June of 2011. Never had any issues with them, but wondering now ...

We have a two week trip to Canada coming up this summer. With that in mind, I tend to think I should replace the batteries. Not sure I want to find replacements in Jasper or Banff National Parks. If I would just be circling home with a Costco nearby at all times, I think I would squeeze another year or two out of the batteries for sure.
BTW: if I replace the batteries now, it will most likely be the Costco Interstate 6V Golf Cart battery. At $94, it's significantly cheaper than the $150 a piece that I was quoted by the Interstate dealer for the exact replacement.
My current batteries (Deep Cycle Extreme GC2-XHD-UTL) have 232Ah on the sticker, the Costco sold ones have 210Ah, and the Interstate suggested replacement has 225Ah.
Any recommendations here? Is it worth it to spend the extra $120 or so for the "Extreme" battery?
