Timing is rock steady and very accurate with a crank trigger since it eliminates the timing chain, camshaft, and distributor. I can also run 2 ignitions and switch between them, one off the crank and 1 off the distributor. The one off the crank is for max power and the 1 off the distributor has the timing retarded to take out a bunch of power (not really applicable for the street). Trade off is the expense.
