Portable Gen. remote start?

I have seen several remote start options for my EU3000 honda generator.
The prices seem to very from $200 to $400??????

First of all, is it worth ANY $$ or effort? Which is the best system to buy? Or, has anyone even done this??

Thanks!!!!

I guess the answer depends, to some extent, upon how deep your pockets are. The link that you included showed a price of $425 (S&H incl) for the remote that goes with the EU3000. Hondas have almost always proved to start easily - often with 1 or 2 pulls. If you aare keeping your generator in a place where pulling a cord will prove difficult or moving it is also problematic, then a remote start might be something to consider. Otherwise, I would save the $425 and use the manual start.
