Pricing will ultimately be determined by pricing from the machine shop. The color options are petty much endless between paint and powder coat. That will could vary depending in choices

What are the upsides/downsides of the mini-battery? Mainly weight gains as the pros?

Would use of a mini-battery be discouraged if we plan on a fairly powerful aftermarket sound system?

Weight is going to be the biggest advantage. If you're going with a fairly powerful aftermarket sound system, I wouldn't use the smaller battery. Weight proabbly isn't a big concern for you anyways from that point.

Weight is going to be of some concern. I'm not going for car-show audio competition beef, but something around the 1000Wrms range.

I don't want to be adding a seriously significant amount of weight overall.

Yea I would suggest an optima battery and call it a day. It will be much heavier, but will also be significantly cheaper and will last a lot longer than replacing $300 batteries every 6 months

Will it be lighter than stock?

I've thought of the optima battery before but my audio guy didn't seem to think I needed it in the 900 Wrms system I had in my STI.
