I DO NOT want to go with the SHUNT TYPE current taps as then I have to deal with high current 'HOT' DC wiring running back to my meter console.
Is there some reason that you can't mount the shunt near the battery?

The shunt-> meter wiring only carries a small, millivolt level of electricity. The meter measures the level of current being carried through the shunt by measuring small voltage differential. That differential is carried by the wire. In mine, I believe it is 24 ga. wire.
