This topic has been beaten to death and the result is always the same - those who know, run vacuum advance. Those who don't, should.
I posted that same article a while back trying to convince some naysayers. I guess you just can't cure stupidity.

Gee Jim, are you saying I'm stupid?
Actually since I went back to the vacuum secondary carbs, I'm going to go back to the vacuum advance distributor to see how it works.
