Robert, my initial plan was to use dual = LSE=20 ignition on my TSIO 550 for better starting and to eliminate mag=20 corrosion.  On a turbo engine, I don't believe you will get a = cruise=20 power/economy increase with LSE.  I also don't believe you will get = a power=20 loss with LSE, unless plugs are not firing due to a system problem. When = I got=20 nervous about the dependability of the LSE ignition, I was advised = by a=20 very knowledgeable and honorable man to pick ignitions in this=20 priority.
1. Bendix 1200  (they will not fit = on the TSIO=20 550)
2. Distant 2nd Place was Slick = mags
3. LSE ignition
 
I have done my own homework and decided = to go with=20 Slick mags with the pressure line coming from the pressurized cabin = through a=20 filter.  My intent is to sort out the plane with the Slick mags and = convert=20 to Prism when and if it becomes available.
