Yep, I'm the same way as you, Eric. I'll keep a good battery in a car, but once it needs replacing, I will spend a little extra and get an Optima; that's what I did with the BMW. Hell, once I get ready to fire the Z up, the first thing I will buy is a red-top for it.

Optimas take ALOT of abuse and keep coming back for more.

If you can afford it, by all means, get it.

What is the difference between the red top, and the blue top marine battery?

The Blue and Yellow top are deep cycle batteries; meaning they can be discharged completely and recharged (many times) without harming the battery. They are typically used in marine applications (trolling motors) or car stereo applications (where the stereos run a lot without the car running).

There is no issue in using them just a cranking battery in a car. . . except that they cost more.

Chris could actually get the Optima 34M which (even though it is a blue-top), it's not a deep cycle battery. I think it only cost a little more than the Optima 34 red-top. However, one of the downsides of the blue tops is that in addition to the standard terminals, they also have threaded posts for a wingnut terminal. Not a real problem, but it may get in the way somewhat.
