No experience with those, but i would recommend buying a known good used 81-85 distributor with ignitors. They almost never fail and you will be able to keep original Mazda parts on your car. I never minded the point and condenser ignition. It's easy to maintain and parts are still available. Though I see the idea of having a better electronic ignition.

You can post a wanted ad in the marketplace. Or Facebook marketplace will probably have some. I sold off all of my rx7 parts a little while back to local mazda parts vendor in Akron Ohio, he is on Facebook marketplace . The parts are out there.
