Alternator overcharging batteries
I have 4 AGM batteries in my rig with a total capacity of 440AH (actually 880AH @ 6V, but of course they are wired to get 12V). The data sheet for my Haze batteries species a bulk -> absorption cut...

Cant give you a solid answer on that one. I was originally looking at a Balmar 3 stage alternator but never got as far as pricing. I do see that their regulators can run anywhere from $200 to $300.
I recently installed 1K of high voltage panels with a Morningstar 200 light charge controller. I'm still thinking about adding a relay circuit to the Morningstar that will disconnect the aux start relay while driving down the road "IF" I have enough solar.
Brett would have more experience with the Xantrex regulator.
