Don't go backwards. Electronic ignition is ever so much nicer.

I've been working closely with E-mag over the last few years and yes, they have identified and fixed the problems.
They had two basic issues. One was the trigger magnet retention method. That was resolved at the same time they fixed the lost timing software problem. The software bug was a result of where the TDC mark was stored. They moved the location and how it was read.
Those fixes were made about 2007. If people sent their E/P-mags in for the free upgrades, they haven't had problems.
