It provides no measurable advantages over an OEM and it's more expensive. Plus, everyone gets enticed by the "adjustable timing" when in fact it is a completely useless feature without an easy way of measuring exactly what you're adjusting.

The adjust ability causes far more problems than it has potential for gain.
Not to mention to make an honest attempt at using it you would need a keyed hub, degreed damper, and a pointer fabbed up.

Lethal Bird is correct, it is NOT the same people, and it's definitely not the same quality as the original. Dynotech Engineering (Phil Rickard) was the originator. Sold to Erik and Zach in 2006, then to Bob Hogan. All parties just happen to be in Fort Wayne, IN. As you mentioned, Huth Tool should stick to their other machine shop offerings... It is a complete disservice to the entire LTx community to value-engineer a once good product, substitute an inferior sensor, and then try to sell it as if it's the same as the original. Then they try to hide the truth of it all with their security fasteners, and also counting on people not to open up the units & void their lifetime of "free" $60-$100 rebuilds. You're far better off buying a less expensive Opti from Chandler, etc. because you get to keep your cash for the next one - It's the same quality sensor as Dynaspark anyway.

EDIT:
In response to OP, and as others have suggested, I would say an OEM unit is still the best bet for longevity if you can afford it.
