Hmmm. I don't use AGM's for chassis batteries. The last two I bought from Sam's Club were around 200.
I don't worry about the cross charging issues of mixing two different battery types since I have my coach setup that I only charge the house batteries from the alternator IF I use the merge switch.
AGM's work as chassis batteries but they are not designed specifically to work best in that use. Plain old lead acid's are the best for the high current rapid discharge that occurs during cranking.
Just my opinion.
