Choice of converter for AGM batteries
I plan on replacing my Trojan T-125's with 3 (or 4) x Lifeline 12v AGM batteries @ 215 A/H for a total of 645 (or 860) A/Hs total. I want to use the 12V batteries since I dry camp 90% of the time and ...

If you have a 100 amp controller? That's great, you are way within margin

I like large converters for fast generator recharge , and prefer solar for top off and carrying the daytime load
My preference would be the Power Max, adjustable converter

Any reason to pick the PM4 series over the PM3?
You do not want either. They are not right for doing 50-90s from a generator off grid.( don't work for fast charging all the way to 90 --might drop to 13.8 at 75% eg) their charging profile is not right for that- either one.
However, you do want the Adjustable voltage model, which is usually a modified PM3, but that doesn't matter. It works for keeping your AGMs (or wets) proper. It is not hard to turn the knob to the correct voltage once in a while. :(
