LOL the benefits of two 6 volts compared to two 12 volts is a huge debate on here. :) There are pros and cons to each method. But really what it boils down to is how you will use the batteries. If you are always dry camping the two 6 volts have more stored power. But two 12 volts also provide power just not as much.
You could think of it a bit like the fuel tank on your car. Say the 6 volts hold 12 gallons and the 12 volts hold 10 gallons. It's still the same fuel, there's just less of it available in the 12 volt batteries. So you'll have to fill up (recharge) more often.
If you always have hookups and shore power then this is all a moot point. Your new 12 volt batteries are more than enough for what you need.
