Different application, but my $.02...
I used a Mallory unilite in a '72 Mercury with 351 Cleveland engine. The
upgrade to the Mallory made a tremendous difference in high rpm performance.
Didn't hurt gas mileage either.
I plan on using Mallory again in my '57 1/2 ton with 283. This time I will
pay the extra bucks for a vacuum advance unit.
