Default Best option for electric self starting glider

Overall, the FES sounds like a very good option to me.
However someone mentioned the real possibility of prop strike. If this happen, I still want to be able to fly my glider as a pure glider until I get the new prop, but if I need to send the motor for repair, or worse, send my ship to Europe to repair the motor, then this could be a deal breaker. Anyone knows more about the consequences (and cost) of prop strike?
