Replacing current 30A with MPPT controller - make sense?

Some of you have followed other posts of mine re: solar, and satellite, so hope this additional inquiry elicits similarly helpful info... If I knew then what I suspect now, I'd have had the Dealer ...

I have a 30 amp controller, four 6-V house batteries, and three 160W ZampSolar panels rated at 26.1 amps peak output. Don't know the brand of the controller at the moment, but was installed by the dealer where I bought the RV, and had one 160W panel (8.7 amps) installed.

Each house battery has the following information on the label:
115 min @ 75 amps 225 Ah @ 20 Hr
