Manual Transmission Start in 2nd Gear

Can anyone give me a good reason not to start my 240D off in 2nd gear on level ground? It takes no more clutch slipping than say, a 1st gear start on a slight hill. That really short run in 1st is eliminated along with the possibility of getting run over from behind when you make the shift.

Opinions?
