Pete,
You won't likely see much difference going to a P-mag from a lightspeed ignition.
They are more alike than different when it comes to practical engine performance.
Same goes for the old Electroair unit I had.
I have used all three at various times and flew with dual mags for awhile also.  All have had failures but the dual P-mags I have now seem very reliable since the boys down in Azle,Texas have worked the bugs out.

Just did my first "long" trip: 6-hours MYF-CMA-TRK-VNY-CMA-MYF on my new P-Mag.  Operated perfectly, but made no difference in static RPM, climb rate or fuel burn.  However I'm on curve A so will clip the jumper and try curve B then post a report.  Stand by.

I just installed a new P-Mag on the O-320-E2D (low compression) in my Lancair-235/320.  Followed the instructions and all ok on the first-start and engine run-up.  Will finish buttoning up the cowl in the morning and looking forward to my first flight on this type of electronic ignition - had rotten luck with Lightspeed Plasma III, so hope this one works out.  If so, will replace my other old Bendix mag with another new P-Mag.
 
The installation included the jumper to make the timing the "A" schedule.  Any advice/cautions about running the timing on the "B" schedule?
