I've had good luck with the AGM battery you're interested in. They seem to last longer than the liquid filled batteries. The last AGM battery I had lasted about 5 years.
I'm in the market for one too, and have bought, and will buy again from TurboStart. Actually, I have one on order from them. They are the manufacturer of the battery. This way, you're getting a fresh battery shipped right to your door.
The batteries are backordered right now due to component part availability. I got this info straight from TurboStart customer service. They have many back orders to fill, and will make a run this week and another in mid-August as the components flow in to the battery manufacturing plant.

Antique auto battery in Ohio. Nice people, and they can take apart and work on those AGM batteries if something goes bad.
According to their website they only carry 65-74 group 27 in green and yellow caps. Unfortunately I need red caps. Could be because of the back order issue I suppose.

I got sick of the high dollar purchase of these batteries every few years so I did the hide a lightweight dry cell racing battery inside of the repro case trick.

How exactly are you guys doing this? The picture looks as though the small battery is laying on its side when the repro case is upright. Also, how are the oe battery cables situated?

I can understand going through all the trouble to put the small battery in the original style case if you're looking for weight savings for racing (Near Stock Muscle Car Drag Race), but seems like a lot of messy work to save $30-$50 if you're just going to shows or cruising your car.
Time is money.
