Default MSD--si or no?

Well, I 'm using a stock distributer with a Pertronics module (Hall Cell) to eliminate points and the Pertronics 40,000 volt coil on my 390.
It has always been dependable and solid. All of my wiring is run under the engine so there is no exposed wiring on top. All harness are taped and strapped down.

Should I spring for the MSD-6AL ignition? I can't see mounting a red shoe box in my engine compartment so it would have to go inside the foot box or under dash if there is room.

Is it worth breaking open the harnesses to run coil and distributor wiring? Will I see a performance increase?

The rev limiter alone is probably worth it. A lot of guys are using this box. Is it worth it?
