Ron,
 
Your negative comments are not of much use without detailing the causes of failure in electronic ignitions.  From your latest (see below), I would have to conclude that crappy engine shops are also likely to screw up electronic ignition installations (powerplant mechanics are not trained to FAA standards in IEs either).  If the experimenter has the brains to personally build an aircraft, he also has the brains to learn about engines and the installation and use of an EI.

The 4P I flew hours off of had a new performance engine, they put the wrong size bearings in it and at the owners expense and a LOT of time they had to re due the engine. The electronic ignition went out three times. I would stay as stock as you can.
