Hi David,
you're right, if the electronic ignition fails, you have no chance limping
home. But then you should not drive your "everyday car", which surely has an
"even more electronic" ignition, too far away from home. Do you have an
explanation how comes that just electronic ignition lets you down at the most
inopportune time and in the worst location and points treat drivers with more
respect and let them down only in convenient situations?
On the other side, in case your generator or dynamo breaks enroute, the
electronic ignition will bring you a lot farther with the energy stored in
your battery.
The problems with the rotors are definitively a quality issue. Standard coils
produce ~20,000 Volts, my high energy coil produces 40,000 Volts, and neither
the rotor of my Mallory (with Pertronix) nor my current electronic ignition
system (123ignition) has let me down once during the last years.

This is the reason that I try to stay away from the electronic
ignition. Because when it fails and not IF it fails. It will let you
down at the most inopertune time and in the worst location. Also
there is no mickey mousing it to get it started. If point fail which
they almost never do all you will need to do is open up the gap and
start the motor. Also a lot of the problems with the rotors I think
is due to the higher voltage of the electronic ignition.
