Very well put! I have always wondered whether the 'multiple spark' aspect of MSD is a bit of a gimmick anyway. Unless there is something else badly wrong with an engine any decent ignition system will light the mixture on the first spark anyway, so why bother with more. For methanol or maybe an old engine burning a lot of oil I can see some possible benefit.
