300AH Lifeline vs 380AH of Sams Duracell AGM

Hi,

Both are about the same price, the Lifelines would be delivered but for Sams I would need to drive about 80 miles and sign up as not a member.

I understand the lifelines are better quality but the Sams will have 20% more AH.

I am not interested in Flooded due to miantenace or Lithium.l due to cost.

My budget for this is 1000$ which included a new convertor and battery cable. I had looked at 440AH of liflines but that has 500$ over budget. I originally had a 1500$ budget but had to cut it.

Coach has already been converters to LED and fridge is Propane. We only dry camp 2 or 3 weekends a year. We do have 200w of portable solar which we use on those weekends.

I am leaning towards due to lifespan? But the extra AH would be nice also.

What do folks think?
