Some planes seem to start warm, no matter what you do, so getting N up is a solid idea, along with an apu/gpu...even pointing into the wind for some..
Fortunately, the planes I fly always start cool on batteries, hot or cold days, so I tend to introduce fuel as soon as checklist allows to save the starter..
I agree with the posters in here that saving your engine before the starter is the right logic..
