There are other solutions too. Here's one and I know there's another one. Let me see if I can find the other.

im still not sold on the opti being a really weak link. i have 87k on my stocker and its still running fine. i have had the accel 300+ on the car for over 3 years, an msd coil and i have everything under the hood atleast 5-6 times a year since i got the car in 98.

even tho it is still an opti spark, it is cheaper then GM units!
i've had a bearing failure on one and the one on the car now has something broken inside of it (rattles around when its off the car)
i might be ordering one of those also, because of price

Yeah, but I believe that guy was lookin for one for a 93-94. I found them for the 95-97 also.

That sucks that it is only a cap and rotor. The optical portion will need to be transferred from the stock unit, and from what I have heard, that is usually the part that goes bad.
