I grew up on points. When I got my first Evo I bought a set for when the electronics failed. I still have them in a box 25 sum years later. The electronics are easier to take care of. I like easy.
I even have a Morris Magneto around here somewhere. Points are easy to work on that.
The only ignition I had utterly fail was a piece of **** Crane in the cone.
I still don't trust the computer on my TC. Electronics and a carb is a simple combo best solution for a guy like me.

I like to keep my plate simple by condensing the back-up ignition setup in my saddlebag.

After speaking with a local guy I trust I decided to just replace the sensor.
He told me with the high humidity here, almost everyone that his shop deals with that have gone to points complains of issues with the moisture which is something I hadn't thought about.
When I had my Pan and lived in Seattle rain was an issue but that was with the OEM distributor that was prone to leaking. .
