Another battery question Interstate vs Miata

Last time I replaced batteries, I used AGM Miata batteries. I liked that they wouldn't leak, but I never liked the fit and the positive terminal was uncomfortably close to touching the top of the battery box. The only thing seperating it was a rubber boot. If that boot had worn through from rubbing, it would have made for quite a fireworks show.

Now I'm considering the Interstate U911 that's supposed to be a perfect fit and has covers for the terminals to eliminiate contact by the positive terminal. I think it's a sealed lead acid battery. Does anyone know if it truly is sealed? If so, does that eliminate the age old problem of corroded battery boxes?
