Batteries: Optima vs Odyssey
I need a new 12v battery for one of my buses. From what I've read on the interwebs, the quality of the Optima batteries took a serious hit when Interstate acquired them and moved production to Mexico. That being said, is the Odyssey battery really worth the $100+ premium over the Optima?

I am not open to using an old-fashioned lead-acid battery for this application. This is just for basic operation - no stereos, winches, or anything fancy like that. I'm using an AGM battery so I don't have to worry about rust.
