I encourage everyone to get rid of contact points as they will cause all kinds of bugs as they go off.. I have no experience with petronix but have heard it is decent. You will not regret electronic ignition (and a nice hot spark will mask a slightly rich mix).
One caveat (I keep a fully set up dizzy with mechanical c points in my spare tire well so no matter what I have spark) I have never had to use it, just as I have never had a flat on the road and just as I haver never had to tow any of my 120s...knock wood.
