Dennis,
Your correct, the start up time (and temperature) are the two main factors which separates the two technologies. One point to consider however regarding a PEMFC is that the start-up time is governed by the start-up time of the reformer when it is using any fuel other than tanked hydrogen. In those cases the actual start up time is closer to the time required to start a SOFC and therefore the PEM looses one of its main advantages in transportation applications.

The other differences between the two is that the PEMFC is significantly less tolerant to fuel impurities as well as CO.
