I think our opinions of the Bosch system differ Brian although one problem was getting good spares but I don't see how the engine can deliver its best with the one size fits all Bosch ignition curve. Yes I notice Guzziology mentions small block coil failures too.

Coil failures happen, not just on small blocks.
 
When it comes to the basic inefficiency of the Heron Head, I doubt any ignition system would make much difference. Can't make silk purses out of sow's ears.Wink

The real reason was probably cheapness of manufacture. Valve stems parallel, and flat head.
