What 6er brand are you comparing?
I have a pair of Interstate GC2 XHDs at 232AH rated from Feb, 2011. Also a pair of Exide 135s at 226AH I got in Oct 2011. I have found them to be equally good in service and banked together.
The 6s get taken care of properly too, but are not in as good a shape as the T-1275s at five years. (But they have been cycled more with me to be fair. No idea what the T-1275s did in their first two years)
I do 50-90s and have MW, etc, draws, and recharge at high amps near 30% charging rate, so not gentle! All the 6s test out as 90% of rated, but they need more work these days to keep them there. I suspect they are getting near their end, but who knows? We'll see.
I have no such suspicions from the way the T-1275s recover so nicely.
It is all subjective in a way, but I "know" my batteries so IMO :) I am not imagining things.
