Buck,
I opted for the electric starter on mine, and it is sweet. Still semi auto start, that is all I am using the electric motor for is to spin up the turbine for starting but also to cool it down after my run.

I just plug in my 6 cell battery pack with attached switch as I get ready to start. You still have to do the glow and propane as with an air start, but at 30,000 I switch off the starter motor, disconect my glowplug clip, propane line and unplug the starter battery (I use sermos connectors). Upon landing, and taxiing back to the flightline I simply plug in the battery, kill the turbine and manually switch on and off the starter motor untill the turbine reads less than 50 degrees. The starts are way faster with the electric motor, and cool down takes less than 30 seconds. I would carry the starter battery on board and have the switch servo operated but I took it out to save weight in my Reaper.

The spun cowl also adds much to the appearance of the engine (if you see it that is).
