Having run my Wren MW54 both airstart (before I put on the electric starter package) and with the electric starter, the electris start is much better IMO. Faster start ups, more efficient cool down (I tried both ways, again, the electric motor spinning the rotor at 20,000 cools down the turbine a lot faster than blowing air through it)and SIMPLICITY! The weight of the starter package isnt that much in relation to the turbine either.

In terms of price, if the SWB isnt in the same plane as the Wren, the PSTJ600 or the Simjet 1200, why sould anyone wnat to pay more for a turbine that comes with less?
