It seems to me that using the two smaller packs would have some advantages for your application. They would each be able to power both the KX-3 and the amplifier, just for about half the time of the single larger battery. So you would have to switch over to the other battery at some point. But using two does offer redundancy in the event of a battery failure. Also, dividing the weight into two chunks may be advantageous for the folks who are humping them up the mountain.
