I don't have a clue as to what an R475.00 is but it looks like a lot to me. I am seeing a few of the big cordless electric drills out at the field with a starter cone attached for starting gassers and they work great. Here in the states a starter cost about $25.00 to over $100.00 so they are worth having. I don't know what cold is in your country either?? Here in my area it only gets down to the mid 20sF and other places it's well below zero. A couple drops of lighter fluid in the carb will light up an engine when it's cold without doing any harm to the engine. A trick taught me by a friend in New York that does a lot of winter snow flying. If you have the money a starter is a good idea. A note about Sticks rules. I was telling a young student about how a four stroke engine could start without any power to a glow plug, I had never seen it myself but have heard of it hapening. As I was telling him and showing him how to rotate a prop safely just in case the engine did fire, my trusty YS engine started right up!! It was on the ground for a while too, I had landed and refuled it and was just pumping the tank back up and off it went!! Another thing to remember is if you wear a neck strap [I do] to always flip it over onto your back before starting an engine.
