Forgot to mention I also run a simple Raymarine instrument system on each use -
DST sensor, wind vane, GPS, hub, and MFD.

Lol, I think that’s what happened to me. I bought Grenadine in January 2016;
this is my sixth season with her. She came with a pair of group 29 Everstart
lead-acid batteries
Misread ...
FYI - When I was shopping you could negotiate (and I did) less than C$600
per battery - group 31 LiFePo. I had expected around C$1000 ea initially.

Which is more or less what I paid for a group31 LiFePo battery... When I
really shopped it (industrial sources) I was pleasantly surprised at the
price.
Whether it's of benefit really depends on your use as Randy stated. When
I first bought windstar I only daysailed and plugged in every night.
To just replace what I have with the same batteries I have now, Deka gels, will
be about $650, so it isn’t cheap either way.
