You are WAY better off with 2 6 volts batts and no I won't explain why. Just trust me.
for many applications I agree. There is one that I believe 12V will be better. That application is when the dominant use is with a high power inverter (1KW and up) or other constant high current draw (>50-75A). Then 12V banks are IMHO a better choice. They offer low voltage drop with high current, and with more banks for the AH needed, each bank is also supplying lower current.
But if your draw is more like most 12V appliance draws then yes 6V is the way to go, even if you occasional have a high current draw.
