Having done a lot of rolling starts I can confirm we do get a crescendo of excitement, not just a few seconds but all the way round the rolling lap. I think the different views are partly down to personal preference, some poeple like short sharp highs, others prefer a long-drawn-out one. Same as the arguments between 10-lap sprint races and endurance races. 'you like rugby I like cricket' sort of thing...
