I had a pair of Optima yellow top's on an APC 1400RM2U for about 7 years. One developed a bad cell. The other is still working fine in one of the work trucks today. :) Those are AGM. Was the cheapest option at the time.

I assume these aren't AGM.

    Have you looked at marine deep cycle batteries? I'm not sure what
    the 100 hour discharge rate is (I don't think the ones I was
    looking at listed it), but if I remember correctly, they were
    around $80 for somewhere around 100 ah @ 20 hour discharge rate
    last time I was looking up prices.

        I think that even if they were cheap crap, they might do OK.

        So is there something about these batteries that gives you a good
        feeling as to actual quality beyond the marketing blurb with the
        product?   I only have the pure weight to be an independent
        judge right
        now.

                Can you add column(s) for group size and weight?
