All you'll run into with the bigger air starter is that it is bigger and more expensive. Like a 2.0 KW starter on a toyota with the winter package rather than the 1.2 or 1.5KW starter motor.
Besides, you probably won't have an ideal air line running to it, so it's not likely to see near full tank pressure ever.

ETA: For the jump start guys, there's also push starting. You'd be surprised the tiny inclines you can push start off of. My driveway slopes about 3" in 10 feet, and that's enough to get my IDI going when it is warm out.
I have to agree with the above. I honestly can't see how using one on a smaller engine could hurt.
There are a shit ton of old 6-Volt Farm tractors that got coverted to 12V and still run the 6Volt starters. They Crank REALLY fast like that. doesn't hurt a thing.
