MSD E-curve Distributor Set Up???

I've been using this for years on my stroker. I'm not sure what you mean by complicated. I have mine set at 20 initial and chose at 15 degree advance program. I also chose the 10 degree vacuum advance. To me this is a breakthrough part that never got popular because its expensive.

I use one too.

Only two gripes: 1) It's taller than stock and you have to remove two plug wire and loosen/turn the distributor to get the cap off (A-body only). 2) the later units will not work with a MSD Solid State coil, unless you can confirm they have fixed that with an MSD Engineer. Not a big deal, just run a Blaster 2.
