Keeping weight down, is direct opposite to adding capacity
The more lead in the battery the more weight the more capacity
You are going to add two batteries, adding two batteries that weight 70# each, makes more sense than two batteries that Weight 55# each
Get the two heaviest deep cycle that will fit, in your space available
The AGMs in my previous RV
Weighed 102# each, 135 ampHrs each
The 4D battery I installed in this RV weighs 145# 198 ampHrs
A 55# battery rated at 90 ampHrs is less durable than a 70# battery rated at 100 ampHrs
The amount of lead per rated ampHr means a lot
Example most GC weigh in around 62# and 212 ampHrs at 6v, thick plates
That's 124# for 212 ampHrs at 12v
