I also have the DB high torque and love it.
BUT:
You have to bend the main wire lug 90* and if it's even a little corroded might SNAP OFF like mine did. Simple starter swap gets a whole lot more complicated. Also, those starters are heavier and a pain to get at the wires and nuts/bolts to install. I can swap oem starters in about 5 minutes, that one took me 1/2 hour.

Because of these 2 issues the next starter I needed I got a stock starter from DB. Just wasn't worth the hassles going to the high torque, IMO.
