your insurance company will probably not allow it on your policy.

Why's that?

try telling an insurance company that.
I know of 3 people that have had insurance problems with them, 1 had their car stolen, extensively damaged and recovered. Insurers refused to pay out due to the starter button.

Surely if its wired properly, you can't start it without the key anyway? I had one in my RX7 and it just saved you from turning the key the last step to start the engine.

I like the way you've worded that, saved you from turning the key that last step, instead you just had to move your hand somewhere else and press a button? Never saw the point myself.
A mate went for a similar sort of system on his old Audi 80 when the ignition barrel went, it wouldn't start on the key so he extended the starter wiring up the dash, turn key to ignition then hot wire the starter  That's the only reason I can see for a push button tbh, if it costs less than a new ignition barrel would
