the PM one i have now only had i think two clockable positions and is slightly bigger than the IMI. the snout on it seems way beefier.

as with any starter, shimming is crucial....

Unlike direct drive, gear reduction starters use smaller, faster motors to rotate their gears in a roughly 4:1 ratio, which results in lower power consumption and higher torque. In applications gear reduction is used to increase speed. So yes they spin them faster.
