FWIW, we went the lithium route, mostly for huge weight savings and space issues, and because we like to be different;). We have 400Ah (most useable) and 640W solar, that have been running for over a year.
Yes, they are more expensive initially (~$620 per 100Ah), plus require either a built-in or added battery monitoring system. Then add controller(s), inverter, fuses, breakers, thick welding cables, etc. Make sure cables are sized large enough (manufacturers usually skimp out) for run distance from solar panel to controller.
We got our batts and BMS through Starlight Solar in Yuma who is a distributor for Elite Power Solutions and installed ourselves.
Anyway, something to consider. Plus, don't forget the 30% fed tax CREDIT (not deduction) for cost of total solar system and install on "2nd home". Makes the $$ more palatable.
I have a big, long post on here somewhere if you feel like looking into our system.
Good luck!
