[V8] Battery question

Yet more advice I could use.  This seems like a no-brainer to me but maybe
I'm missing something.

Last time I needed a battery on this car (2000 or 2001), the local vendor
recommended the Interstate MTP-93, 850CCA.  Slightly larger than the spec'd
battery, a Group 91 which delivered 700cca, but the larger one could fit in
the well.  I was living at the time in northern VT and having the extra
juice made sense.

Any reason NOT to use the larger capacity battery?  I see they are both on
sale at Firestone this month for the same price, so that's not an issue.
 Only thing I can think of is the larger one does not allow you to clamp it
down, so it might vibrate and be damaged more easily.
