The Odyssey just has a threaded socket, it comes with two bolts to hold the cable onto the terminals. The stock (and most lead acid powersports type batteries) have a hollow "cube" type terminal that holds a square nut, and then a bolt secures the cable on. The odyssey has the nut "built in" so to speak.
IMO it's easier and simpler, no modification needed.
I've had the Odyssey mentioned for two full years, zero problems. After sitting all winter, hooked up, no charger, it was a bit flat and couldn't quite spin the motor fast enough to start. 5 minutes on a 6 amp charger, fired up, never touched it again all year.
