Default ultima single fire ignition kit vs daytona twin tec

Was going to install a daytona twin tec ignition but came across the ultima kit. I can get the whole ulitma kit with coil and wires for the price of a twin tec ignition only. Ultima is made by dyna I'm pretty sure and is a 2000i . Ultima had problems a few years back with quality so I'm wondering if they got it straightened out?? Anyone have knowledge on both units and how they compare? Tryin to save a buck and lookin for reviews
Thanks

To the best of my knowledge Ultima never had any problems with the ignition you are contemplating. They did have some teething problems with other parts though, and seem to have worked most of them out. I use the Ultima in my bike and I can run anyone of the manufacturers, but chose them for their value. We've also installed several of them with no problems yet. Hope this helps.

That Ultima is a descent set up and great for the carb swap from EFI, havn't had any problems out of the module but had a coil fail which can happen to any electrical parts but coil quality is low in my eyes. My buddy has the same 2000i and hasn't had any problems, so for the money it seems ok

I've had no issues with the dyna 2ki I installed last spring, although the coil that came with the kit went south on me and I replaced it with a crane. I like the idea of being able to switch from single fire to dual fire, I now carry a spare dual fire coil in my bag, it covers myself and my wifes bike.

As others have stated the ultima module is basicly a repackaged Dyna 2000i I have run both. I agree the coil and the wire set leave a little to be desired. for the cost , you can purchase another quality single fire coil and keep the Ultima as a spare.
