I have been told the same from battery retail sales people as well. One retailer sells Optima and confirmed SPO1715 post. I have also heard from those retailers that the Odyssey AGM's have not cut their quality and are now considered better than Optima.

My Yellow top Optima is at least 7 years old and I use a battery tender. When it goes I will be getting the Odyssey.
