Lifos 68 battery (LiFePO4), any experiences?

[Reposted, was in wrong category before]

My two Exide gel service batteries need replacement sometime in future and while googling around I found this Lifos Lithium battery: https://www.lifos.co.uk/products.

In short: • Capacity: 12.8V/68Ah, • Dimensions: L 175 x W 257.5 x H 190mm
• Weight: 7.8kgs - Price: £699.00 (acc. to e.g. https://www.force4.co.uk/68ah-lithium-battery.html)

My question is if someone has experience with this battery? Otherwise, I wonder if this price/spec is about the same than other comparable lithium batteries?

I would buy two or three of them. Price is about double of gel batteries (e.g. from svb (https://www.svb24.com/en/exide-gel-batteries.html)) but considering the long usage this is ok.

What I'm asking myself is, if such lithium batteries are as uncomplicated to use as gel batteries? Also there is a larger model (105 Ah) and I'm usure if it would be worth to 'go a bit over the top' energy-wise when doing such a battery replacement?
