Put a yellow top in a couple of years ago. So far no problems.
Had to use the dremmel tool to cut the length out a little on the plastic battery tray in the car but then it fit fine. Got it at Sam's wholesale. Can't remember the $$$ though.

Red top is more more used for extreme applications such as racing and yellow top is more if you have a upgraded stereo system.

Price for the Optima battery is around 150 dollars depending on where you get it from.

Also, this site answers the FAQ on Optima batterys.

Hope this helps.
