That's a good point. My comments were more on the quality of the Odyessy - but if you can get the kind of warranty on another battery I don't see the point in paying the extra cash (except the environmental satisfaction of tossing less batteries every few years). I beleive that originally Odyessy designed the dry cells for marine purposes - and because there was no acid in the battery they could be shipped direct to the consumer legally and safely.
