I do realize that compression matters before in thos single battery scenario. Before I had my 7.3 rebuilt it would crank and run easily with low compression on some cylinders.

There's more to it then just that.
A new 950cca battery might do just fine if it's 80 degrees out and you have a relatively healthy engine and starting system.
If it's 0°F out, you have a couple bad glow plugs, your battery cable is corroded, the starter solenoid is worn, and your single battery is 5 years old, there's a slim chance you're going to get it started.
