There's nothing wrong with PM starters, as long as you supply them with 
the juice.  For our long cable runs a bit heavier cable would help 
alot.  I'm running a 00 cable for power to the engine compartment, and 
using two 5/8 oil lines as my ground return.

I needed less weight in the rear and more in the nose, so a PM was the 
logical choice.
