Different perspectives, I find distributors even ones with electronic trickery no where near as good as Megajolt

Is that just from smoother power or more power or both?

A distributor with points and even a distributor with a black box does not give you the flexibility of a programmable ecu.

I can set cranking advance on my high compression engine to get it started with ease, then set idle advance and then precisely when the advance starts after idle upto peak advance with whatever cam I decide to use

Try that with a weight and spring advance of a distributor.

As for power a distributor will only allow you to set it up for one rev range and the curve is fixed, you will miss out on torque where as a programmable ignition can be mapped to get the best out of the whole rev range
