Is vacuum advance needed with MSD box with a daily driver?

Is that from a performance stand point and or mileage and driveablity??

It seems all there distributors that are designed to run with an MSD box only have no vacuum advance.

You have to answer the question about initial timing asked. My understanding is with no vacuum advance, your mileage could suffer, though these distributors come with a few degree shims, for upwards of 18degrees advance.
In my scenario, its purely performance, and run 20 initial, and 34 advanced with the same MSD distributor. My motor likes the initial where its at. I'm not too concerned with mileage.
