100% agree.
It was great how he spent a lot of time on logistic regression before delving into SVM's or Neural Nets - it was much easier to understand the cost functions & regularization for other types of classifiers after having understood those for logistic regression.
My takeaway: if you can avoid adding risk to your systems by using more complicated models, you should.
