Default What are your thoughts on aftermarket ignition systems?

I know a ton of domestic boys run them, and lots of F/I guys for some reason. What are your thoughts on them? I've seen many of the popular companies selling for on average $130-$250...that's not too bad. A couple friends of mine have said that the Accel 300+ has really smoothed out their revs and produced a much cleaner idle and high RPM response. Plus they have built in rev limit features. What are your thoughts on aftermarket ignitions?

If Honda's stock ignition system is good enough for a 10 second race car it's good enough for your car.

I was under the impression that the non-vtec B series motors have different ignition systems than the vtec ones?
