Went with the Marine version as it came with the extra posts on top, but at the expense of 1 year less warranty (hopefully, the latter will not be an issue).

How does it compare to the Optimas?

You're funny. Playing with mustangs are cheap. This Jeep business is expensive (to a college student at least). I'm just happy to make the payment on it. But let me finish up school and get a big boy job, then yall better watch out

A smidgen better spec wise, but primarily doesn't seem to have the short-life issues folks have been reporting on the Optimas.

wow, i hadnt researched batteries so didnt realize folks were experiencing short life issues with the Optimas. That sucks cause they arent exactly cheap. Speaking of which, how did they compare cost wise?
