Pumpe-Düse did have an edge on common rail in therms of injection pressure back then.
However these days common-rail allows for even higher injection pressures.
The interesting part is that IFA of all companies pioneered electronicly controlled common rail injection in a commercial truck in the 1980s.
On the other hand, they also pioneered using explosives to make rear axles out of steel beams...
