Which of the 36 did you go with, they offer two of them.

Also, do you actually notice a difference when using the Shorai vs the 17# Deka in an AutoX environment ? Might be worth it to lose that extra 12# from my waist rather than pay an extra $200 to lose it from the battery.
My Deka is still sitting in it's box as new. I thought I killed my Shorai so I ordered the Deka hastily but a few hrs spent on the Shorai-specific charger brought it back to 98% capacity. 36 Ah is still better than 26 Ah and 5lb is better than 17. Sadly my butt dyno is simply not calibrated to measure a 12# weight difference. And... I ain't that good.
