Hi,
No, they don't take a lot longer to charge. Charging rate at 85% state of charge is about 12.5 amps per 100 amp-hours of storage. So long as there is a 50 amp converter, charging 400 amp-hours to 100% from 85% will take exactly the same amount of time as charging a 100 amp-hour jar.
In the Op's shoes I'd add both battery capacity and solar.

While extra batteries supply power longer, they take a correspondingly longer time to recharge too. And there are a few other disadvantages to extra batteries too....as is already being discussed.
