Probably just my paranoia. You might not feel the difference at first but a few years down the line you might buying a new one. A larger battery has an easier time starting and therefore should last longer. For a few bucks more, amortized over 6 or 7 yrs, I prefer a little overkill. If allowed to get too low a battery will die a slow death. Especially if they are not desulfated.
My stukay sure doesn't turn near as fast as my 90 Civic. I don't know if the battery has been replaced or not. The car is a very well maintained 2002.
There are only about 3 companies that make all the batteries under different labels. But they are made to different specs.
