What's The Deal With The Mopar Mini Starters?

As I always say "your car, your money, do what you like" but I would never use a stock factory old school starter UNLESS it was some resto or something but since I don't have and don't intend to have any restored cars I don't see it ever happening. The stock/factory starters do fail and good luck finding one locally. However, you can use one out of a late 80's Dodge pickup or even a V8 Dakota and be able to get one at any local parts store pretty much that day.
