There is nothing special about Optima vs any other brand of AGM battery. In fact, they may not even be as good as a more traditional rectangular shape battery. Nor is the "spiral" (round) cell unique to Optima - some other brands are the same internally. Optima just chooses to flaunt it by making the external appearance reflect the internal structure.
So, I think your question really ought to be "is anybody using AGM house batteries?" and the answer would be many thousands of us are. I've been using them since 2002, and my current coach came from the factory with AGM house batteries. I currently use the Trojan 31AGM, which is a Group 31 size AGM battery (4 of them).
