I had a digital Magnaspark. I'm not sure they still sell it, but they still sell the Black Box that does basically the same. I wish now I would have stuck with a 009 and just added the box somewhere. I could get a stock fuel pump on with that wide Magnaspark distributor, nor did it look stock with the rest of the engine (like the Oil Bath air filter).

I wonder if it would be possible for someone to design a "Rolex" precision vacuum/mechanical distributor that's just as accurate as anything digital (with the exception of knock detection).
