"I don't quite follow. Isn't this exactly the point you were trying to make? That SiO2 has higher capacity because it has more cycles at a given SOC?"
It can do many cycles down to a LOW SOC. And that many cycles can be enough. An LFP can do many more of those than an SiO2 (if you live long enough to use them!)
Try that with a regular AGM or FLA and it will not be enough cycles for how many times you have to buy new batteries. So 50% is recommended as the low SOC point for them.
I don't know what the OP would think is "worth it". If it is an option, he could get the extra AH by putting FLAs in the truck bed ahead of the wheel wells as mentioned earlier.
