I would not use MSD because of needing addons and crap.

Get a Mallory 685 and it is all in one box.

Or you can pick up a MSD Digital 6, that box is an all in one like the Mallory.

Another vote for the digital 6...yes the 685 is cheaper, but I have seen better long term performance out of the MSD. It is also a little smaller box which allows it to fit in more places.

MSD Digital 6 here for me also. Upgraded from the 'ol MSD6A 'cause I'm on the "juice".
