Battery Choice Opinion Please UPDATE
Updated 26 April ---------- Thinking of getting one of these to replace an old pair of wet 6s, where the price here is similar to new 6s. Not sure if it is suitable for RV use doing 50-90s some...

I looked at the specs, the idea is similar but the power specs and chemistry are a little different
The more lead per amphr, the better
Examples
Car jar 63# 105 amp hrs. 0.6 pound of lead per Amphrs , thin plates
Gc pair 126# 220 Amphrs , 0.57 pound of lead per amphr, put thicker plates
This battery 148.8# 250 amp hrs. 0.59 pound of lead lead per amphr, should be thicker plates, size of to gc in one pkg
My battery 102# 135 amp hrs. 0.75 pound of lead per amphr
I think "acid starved" is more lead , less acid per amphr rating
Granted my calculations are based on total weight, which includes the plastic case and the acid,
Mfg don't publish the weight of the lead, in the battery
I think this would perform about the same as two GC, maybe slightly better, being they are AGM
