For a given battery size and weight, AGM batteries from the same manufacturer typically have between 5 and 10% higher CCA than a flooded lead acid battery, definitely an advantage in starting the S54 engine if you drive the car in winter, as it is hard enough to start with the OEM AGM below -25°C, let alone a lower performance battery.
