It's as solid as the original.
So, for 30 minutes of my time installing it, I saved a trip to the Honda dealer, got a slightly higher CCA battery (370 new vs. 340 old), and now can replace that battery at many more places with an off-the-shelf battery.
So, which group size did you end up getting? It's not clear to me which one worked.
