See the UB12100 110AH AGM for $210, at $1.9/AH and the
Espion360 120AH Li for $1,340 at $11.17/AH
So 11.17/1.9 = 5.88 times, not 4 times more per AH. But the point is usable AH.
Now let's put it in perspective some.
I'm going to use the info you posted for figuring #s but there are cheaper batteries to be had for this discussion.
I got my AGM info here for life cycle count, please correct me if wrong.

"If"
AGM 110ah @ $210.00
500 cycles @ 80% DOD = 44,000ah, .004 cent per ah.
1000 cycles @ 50% DOD = 55,000ah, .003 cent per ah.
"If"
LFP 120ah @ $1,340
2,000 cycles @ 80% DOD = 192,000ah, .006 cent per ah.
3,000 cycles @ 70% DOD = 288,000ah, .004 cent per ah.
But now using 80% you need to replace the battery 4.36x ($915.60) or 50% compared to lfp 70% you'll need replacing 5.26x ($1,098.30). I'm sure during the time that AGM batteries are being replaced inflation might effect the price.
Now do you see the LFP is not 4x or 5x as much?
