Uncle Fuzzies take on Self Launchers

When you have a MG you can decide when and where you are going to launch (yes, you don't have to go to an airport that has tows!). A pilot with first rate MG landed for lunch at the airport where I normally launch. He took an aerotow to relaunch (after lunch) because he said that he felt nervous about the possibility of an engine failure when launching from our "short" 2600 foot runway. He is very familiar with the airport. (Admitedly, off runway landing sites are limited.) Is it a common (and prudent) precaution to take an aerotow with a motorglider if you have that option?
