Tom, big cells are really the way to go, rather than too many parallel battery bank connections. That is for darned sure, Methinks the issue is delivery weight. Was considering a back-of-pickup-truck winch arm thing here not too many years back, and then it all flashed before my eyes.......this SUCKS. We could possibly subcontract the delivery and lifting of 300-400lb plastic-encased chunks of lead and acid, but otherwise I have no desire to enter the health of my back into the equation. Those big heavy batteries sure do work good, though, and last a long time.
