Found Trojan 105's here in town for $125
Is the extra $75 for 2 of em worth it over the Costco batteries?
I know this is gonna be a dumb question but money is an issue ... but battery life for a weekend is 'More' of an issue ... I need to make it through a weekend on 6 sixers if possible.
Today I purchased two new Trojan T-105s for $100 each here

If you are concerned about truth in advertising, when it comes to these 6V batteries, Costco is no better than Sams Club. In the city I live in, with numerous Costcos, all the Costcos have the same Interstate 6V batteries, but one of their stores here, on the label, said the battery was 232 aH, and claimed it weighs 66.8 lbs I think it was. So I took my digital bath scale, which from experience I believe to be very accurate, and I weighed the Interstate labelled 6V battery at Costco. It weighed 4 lbs less than advertised. So I went to Sam's and weighed their battery with the same scale, and it was 2/10 of a pound heavier than the Costco battery.
So the Sams battery claims 220 aH compared to a claim of 232 aH for the Costco battery, whis is slightly lighter. Confused by now? You should be. :) So for myself, I ignore the claims as to aH and the advertised weight, and weigh them myself.
