For best voltage sense install the new converter close to the battery with #4 wire.
For true flexibility you need a good solar controller. They have all features you need.
I ended up installing a separate Progressive Dynamics converter/charger close to the battery and leaving the old WFCO converter in place.
When on 110V I switch the batteries off the WFCO (leaving the WFCO to run the 12V appliances) and let the PD charger do its thing to the batteries when there's not enough sun. When there's enough sun the MPPT controller gets involved with the batteries too.
