They may struggle to reach price parity for a set up where space and weight aren't limiting if you're getting a full 5 years or whatever out of your batteries. I never did with lead acid but maybe I'd take care of them better if they ran my house!
Do you mind sharing your reason for using a battery bank to power your house? Is it solar or a backup charged by the grid?

Solar with a diesel back up generator I live quite far away from any utilities.

Very cool. I'd like to be that remote one day.

It’s fun but if you’re serious about it start learning everything.

Mechanics, plumbing, electrical and everything else because calling in people to do any of that costs an arm and a leg.
