Plug and play distributor

Why not just replace the pickup coil in the existing distributor? And the advance can while you're at it? Would be cheaper and at least as good.
I have accumulated enough new old aftermarket replacement ones for a song via eBay to last me a lifetime. 4 Phillips screws and both components are out. Easy. The ones I have are brands such as Sorensen, niehoff, filko. Brands that were USA made, but unfortunately aren't around any more. "Some" Standard, Borg warner etc brands which are still common, and aren't horrible.
