If I decide to go for a Pulse, I'm in a good position as eFlite already make one ready for electric. I understand what you guys are saying about getting a .40 size plane and converting it to electric but I don't want the hassle of trying to vent it in order to keep the ESC cool. A guy at our club brought a .40 size high wing trainer and converted it to electric and is having nothing but problems with his ESC entering a fail safe cool down mode. At least the eFlite planes are designed for electric and pre-vented so it saves me a job haha.
Sometimes the easy road is the best one to travel. As long as your having fun it doesn't mater what you are flying. Yes, the ESC, battery and motor must have an air flow and if all you have ever seen and know are ARFs then it is probably a good idea to stick with them. Doing any type of conversion requires a bit of skill and thinking, not to mention a bit of glue, a piece of balsa wood and an exacto knife. Fun is the key to anything RC.
