How many amps is that thing rated for? Also, have you got a before and after voltage drop during starting? If we get positive answers to these questions, I think this is really a great device, and may even be better than a bucket full of relays, isolators, and combiners. The reason I say this is because I have been using this method for years, only instead of a switch, I have just been grabbing the terminal and shoving it on and off the battery as needed and to my astonishment, it seems to work really well to do it that way however goofy it sounds. And I used to use relays and love relays! But it is hard to find good practical relays relay rated at 400 amps. (Winch, 30amp inverter).
