RJ, thanks for the clarification.
I don't know how others can keep their batts in shape when their methods don't work for me, so I always wonder if they are measuring things properly or what. It seems the truth is we each have different circumstances we are working within, so different methods are needed.
I do think if somebody else on the forum finds he needs a different routine from what you need, and has some measurements to explain it, that you should take his word for it.
Maybe it's about the effect of the difference in charging profiles. If user A uses a charge profile with 15 V and user B uses a profile of 14.4 V, how much is the difference in results? Will user B suffer capacity loss or have to exchange his batteries a month before user A? Will user A have to add .05 ounces more of water over a 1/2 year period? In the grand scheme of things, it may be a very small difference using either profile. What I do know for certain is that I've spent way more time thinking about battery maintenance after joining this Forum. That, IMO, is a good thing.
