looking for cheaper alternative to Oddysey PC680 Battery

as the title states, I'm looking for a cheaper alternative to the Odyssey PC680 battery. I found out about a company, Gruber Power Services, that offers a cheaper alternative to the battery, and has basically identical specs, but the problem is that I haven't been able to get a definitive part number for the correct battery. I found this cross reference chart, and need to know if my assumptions are correct before I shell out the $ for this battery. Apparently, the Odyssey and Gruber batteries are seemingly manufactured by the same company, EnerSys (or so I've read, anyway) so I'm assuming if all the specs are the same, I imagine its essentially the same battery without the "name" brand on it.

also, are there any cheaper alternatives for a good battery box for this thing? a box designed like this one from PWJDM?

going to be mounting the battery in the same location as pictured on passwordjdm's site as well. I can't see spending $160 on a box. It doesn't have to be a "really nice" box at all. It just needs to keep it in place. I'm going to be painting the box to match the rest of the car so its going to be pretty subtle when its done.

as always, thanks in advance.

looks good. what is the "price break"? i'm not understanding that.

i believe that's the one i'm gonna get, but now i need a confirmation on the battery itself. i need a part number for the appropriate Gruber battery. if i click on the battery that shares almost the exact same specs as the odyssey battery, it takes me to a site that has a bunch of batteries that don't even come close to the specs.
