You will have to decide for yourself if the higher end batteries are worth the extra cost for you. I would guess 75% say no for their applications of cost vs use. I tried them once and did not go back, but that was many many years ago. If you don't mind the weight of the largest capacity lead batteries, they will give you a longer running time than what you probably have now. To save that weight, go with the higher cost dry cell in the same configuration. One thing to consider, it only takes one time of leaving a switch on or charger fail and rendering your batteries completely useless. Depending on how/when it happens you might be able bring it back to life if it was fairly new, a 3 yr old battery, not usually. Then you have to purchase new batteries again. One battery isn't as bad as having 3 batteries get drained and have to replace. Also, since I spend a lot of $$ to fish, for me I never want to be out on the water and have my batteries fail. So I check them a lot and change them out usually every 3 to 4 yrs depending on use, cheap insurance for my situation.
Just a few things to think about.
