I'm not particularly an advocate of Optima-type batteries, I really don't yet see what advantages they offer over a good lead-acid battery like a NAPA commercial truck/bus battery. But that said, in a case where the battery is visible under the hood and the owner wants an authentic appearance, I'd pick the Optima in an appropriate black case over the boutique lead acid battery every time - I've had quite a few Group 60 boutique Williards and they generally gave very poor service life.
