I was thinking about this today. I almost started a new thread when I thought to search. Thanks Oil pan 4 for starting a thread that already answered a bunch of questions!

Obviously, the gear reduction starter is superior for the reasons listed. But, what are the downsides to it though? I'm thinking maybe just cost at this point? What starter actually starts the engine faster, or is the difference imperceivable?
