Default Electronic ignition advice/recommendation

Looking to remove the traditional points setup on the Mark1 Escort and move over to electronic ignition.

Can anyone offer some advice on which system to go for ? Prefer someone who has used a particular product rather than typing something into Google ! LOL

Thanks

Chris

I see he does the OMEX kit, was looking for something more 'Lumenition' pricewise ! Someone mentioned Micro Dynamics but it's all gobbledygook to me ! LOL, give me EECIV and coilpacks any day of the week lol
