That's sort of my take as well - I went with flooded lead acid as they
are cheap and well supported. Weight was a secondary issue and my
boat's layout means that the flooded cells are easy to maintain.
Maybe when in a few years when the my Trojans are getting a bit tired,
some other chemistry will replace them.
