Default MSD Blaster SS vs. Blaster HVC coil?

Does anyone have experience with these two coils? Is the HVC worth the extra $70?

Thanks
Ben

I am currenlty running the digital 6 with the blaster hvc coil. Before, i was running the digital 6 with the blaster ss coil, and i was having alot of misfire problems up top. When i bypassed the digital 6 adn ran the coil only, the misfires went away. I also had to send in the digital 6 for repairs 2 times because it kept going bad. I've been using the digital 6 with blaster hvc coil for around 3 months now and no problems at all.

The SS coils are known to be very inconsistent from a quality standpoint. I called MSD about this and bitched. They said they had to rebuild many of them because of faulty manufacturing. They still sell that POS, which should have been yanked from their catalog a long time ago.
