Default Capability of DYNATRON starters?

This summer I'll be flying a couple of big planes. They're equipped with a 3000 Supertigre and a Saito 180. Even with a fully charged battery my regular Sullivan starter does not have enough oomph to kick these over. I see Sullivan Dynatron starters come up used once in a while on the FSW forums for around $40 and was giving them some thought.

Anyone have any real-life experience with Dynatrons and are they capable of starting these engines with a 12v battery? Sullivan web site says they'll start up to a 40cc but I really don't believe manufacturer's claims since I had a Hobbico 180 starter that had a hard time with 91s.
Thanks
