You're definitely right, but I don't think a pair of 51Rs is necessary to spin that little engine at 24v. Lots of similarly sized diesels crank just fine with a single 51R (25ish HP Kubota B/BX with a D902)
I love overkill too & if it were a one-time purchase I'd pay for the overkill, but...
Napa 7581R (Miata battery) is an AGM that's almost the same size as a 51R... it's a lot cheaper than an AGM 51R, and for bonus points it's a $9 core instead of $18.
