Optima Red Top owners please?

I called NAPA to get a price and I was told $120 for a 720CCA and $160 for the 800CCA and he gave me a pn# for the 800CCA. I checked out Optima's site anf they say the one I need is pn# DT75 and it's a 720CCA battery. Summit has an 800CCA for $129 which is what I was planning on buying. I just called NAPA to get a price locally. The different pn#s and amp rating got me concerned. I did a search and found a lot about mounting it and it's quality but the only pn# that I found was 12853, which doesn't seem to match any of the other numbers.
My questions are -
What part number/CCA model do you have and where did you get it?
Are the 720CCA & 800CCA the same size just diff amps ratings?

TIA

No Costco around here that I know of. The only one I've ever seen was in Arizona. I just found out that AutoZone has them in stock and I'll be out the door w/ it for $128. That beats Summit! I am going to try to get there in the next few days. I'll look for the 74 style. Thanks
