Status: offline 		Both are good.

I have both Picco and Go engines and I really love the redline on my Picco, but the Go is an awsome block for the money.

You might as well get the starter box as the pull start seems convinient at first, but I spent loads on oneway bearings and pull start cords. Plus you lose a small amount of power to the oneway bearing. It adds extra weight and extra maintenance.

IMO a starter box is the way to go.
