Bank These Batteries? UPDATE
Updated 28 April (Changed topic so starting new thread) Now I need an opinion/facts if I can bank this big one with my two smaller AGMs even though they have different "cycle use" charging specs...

me.. i would connect them all together
use as one bank charge at 14.4v
top charge at 14.8v
float at 13.8v
I am kind of hoping that will work. I will still do Mex's procedure next couple of days to see if there is a problem arising from that.
I would still have the two solar sets (one 255w and three 100s) but would then put both controllers set to the same voltage on the one big bank. I could reduce to one converter.
No generator with the MH. (Just solar and alternator) So no 50-90s like before with the 5er doing 155 amps with a 55 and a 100 amp PowerMax. Only do charger at home with lots of time, so lower amps is ok.
The 100 pops a stick house breaker so likely just use the 55. (The 75 ADJ still does any 16v work like with the spare extra Wet 27s--that 75 is the only charger I have that can do over 15.5v.)
I am getting quite a collection of gear that still works I don't need anymore with the MH and no 5er or TC anymore. There might be a garage sale in my future! :(
