6 v GC batteries versus 12 v lithium deep cycle batteries

Disregarding price, is there a distinct advantage having 12 volt deep cycle batteries over the standard 6 volt golf cart batteries. These are for house batteries, have four, wired to provide 12 volts....

The Trojan guide mentioned that not balancing could lead to a "low" cell going "too low" when you got to a low SOC (as measured by the average voltage?) where the batt is "top balanced" as a reason to balance.

ISTR ( needs to be confirmed) "too low" for a cell ruins it for good.

AFAIK these RV type LFPs are not "bottom balanced".
