In your situation Wayne, yes, i'd agree that the higher amped unit,

Believe it or not you can actually hear the 6-71 grunt for a split
second when I switch the bank of golf cart batteries online, no belt
slip however. We've put about 30 hours on the new Leece-Neville over
the last week and no issues so far.

If you get tired of horsing around those 8D batts you might consider a
pair or Trojan T-145s as a replacement. They also have better deep
cycle characteristics than most 8Ds.
