The pros and cons of magnetos versus battery powered ignition has been going
on for some time.  I recall flying behind a Jacobs radial almost 60 years
ago that had one magneto and one battery powered coil and distributor.  The
battery powered system ran the engine better but the magneto would get you
home when the generator failed.  I think the safest and best trade is still
one magneto and one electronic system.  They are completely separate and the
trip home is not time limited.
