This all needs more thought of course, for my own scenario.
You can also leave AGMs disconnected for months with no float. One 100AH AGM can't take the MW draw, but two can for the same price. But you have to keep the AGMs charged up or they will sulphate.
My unusual scenario is the time off grid before getting shore power (no gen with camper/truck) and 12v usage allows for having one 100AH batt, but still need the MW draw allowance.
So for the same money--one SiO2 that does not sulfate or two 100AH AGMs that do sulfate, but will allow a 55 amp converter.
Or stay with two 12v Wet 27s and have to bust in to make sure they have water above the plates (not always! :( it is bad for that, can't go on like this!) total PITA! --I am thinking it would be worth the money to escape the agony of defeat. :)

Not many folks will have that scenario! Still, it is interesting.
