...which honestly doesn't matter unless you're trying to start your car in 
the dead of winter in Minnesota.

For me, the Yellow Top was just the ticket, because I have some leakage in 
my electrical system I've never managed to track down, so if my car sits 
for a few weeks, it's dead.  I've had a Yellow Top in there for about a 
year and a half now, and I've got nothing but great things to say about 
it.  The lower capacity and CCA has never been an issue at all (but then, 
I'm in Houston, where it barely dips below freezing in the winter).
