I agree, I prefer the pullstart. No worries about charging batteries and forgetting things places. I have a hard enough time remembering to charge my glowplug ignitor. As it is now I need about 3 quick pulls and my engine will start right up cold. And I mean sure pull starts break everynow and then, but it's much easier to just go get a new one than having to worry about stripping gears in your starter or buying new batteries.
