I think you will have better luck in summer using the solar.
Give it a week after a trip and all should balance out fine.
Solar is generally easier where you don't do 50-90s over days to get down to 50 and then never go above 90, that are so hard on a battery, but do more like 85-97s daily so it is easier to get back to 100% every so often.
The trick is to remember your so-called daily "full" is actually about 97% so you still have to get to 100% on a routine basis.
With 6s that means going to 15v+ which you can do on solar by Equalizing if the controller does that, or by going panel-direct (by-pass controller)
Westend, being on a float (even a solar float) after getting each batt properly full, they should still each be up to speed unless the middle one is not getting enough to keep it above self-discharge. AGMs don't self discharge much anyway.
