Gary - yes the Super International is a brilliant way to re-start with HO...
It allows 4-lane action straight out of the box and plenty of development potential. There are several third-party lap-timing options (Trackmate, ViaSue, Race Coordinator etc) as you grow into 'serious' racing tournaments, plus controller upgrades (DS, OS3, Parma, DiFalco etc) when you want something better than the set controllers. This set has been the basis for so many HO slot car racing hobby-ists, racing groups and clubs over the past 20-30 years.
There were days when you'd have to do some work on the cars (silicone rear tyres, shoe tweaks etc), but the Mega-G+ set cars are pretty good. They either work or they don't. And if they don't AFX will replace them - their customer service is excellent. If you decide on HO - then the Super International is the perfect choice.
However, I reckon it's still worth looking at those bigger options too...
