Seriously, how much heavier are they? I'm not going to run out and replace a perfectly good battery, but the next one that dies in my wife's SUV might get replaced with a gently raced Optima and a lighter battery would go in the IT7.
My POS Optima was 40#... I'd rather lose the weight with a battery than get on a treadmill....Let's face it 5# is 5#, replace the battery and you won't feel guilty about that 1 "extra" beer!!
