What is the advantage to buying 12 - 100AH CALB cells at around $145 each, as opposed to buying say 6 trojan T35's at $200 each?

I also wonder who will take these batteries when they die? Anything with lead i can take to my local battery recycler and get the going rate. My understanding is there is only one lithium recycler in the country.
