I have the Plasma III on my RV-10 + a traditional mag
It consists of the brainbox (inside the cockpit) and three capacitors (each capacitor runs the top plugs on two cylinders).
At around 250 hours, I noticed a significant rougher sound when I did my run up test. Watching the EGTs it was clear that one of the capacitors had failed. I bought two new capacitors (to have one spare for the future). 100 hours later I have not had another problem.
Klaus was responsive on the telephone and promptly shipped new parts when I called. He thought part of my failure was due to the brand of sparkplugs I used at the last annual.
I like the idea of two separate different ignition systems. I probably would not choose two LSEs for my airplane since they both require 12v of input power unlike a mag.
