This totally misses how painful it is for a first-time founder to negotiate against an experienced VC. The power of the SAFE note is that you don't need to worry about the terms, you know it's acceptable. If there are twenty different possible funding mechanisms and you have to negotiate which one you want, the power goes to the VC. Just use a SAFE note.
