need help finding ignition upgrade

i want to hear some opinions about ignition upgrades. i have an MSD 6A box, but it is not built for high revving engine because of the analog chip set, so i am looking to sell it and replace it. anyone have an opinion on what i should get?

The HKS Twin power is really a nice unit, but it is high dollar. The Crane HI-6 is a popular addition amongst FC owners. I have a write-up with pics and so forth on my site.

no boxes will control all 3. you need 3 to do it.

I'm not sure that is acurate. I think I read that the HKS unit does indeed control all 3. I could be wrong though.

I don't have personal experience with it, but from what I have heard from others, it is an overpriced HI-6

It is the easiest to use, works well, and since you have the MSD already installed, it would be really easy to install
