Default corrected HEI caps

What do you guys think about the corrected HEI distributor caps with even wires on one side and odd wires on the other? Accel makes one for about 50 bucks. Anybody have stories to share?

I ran one of the old Madsen Crossfire caps for years with no issues. I liked the way it cleaned up the wiring.

Some of the cheap ones will arc through the cap. They look pretty but they dont make you go fast.

I believe accel withdrew their cap from the market. I had one order from jegs never got it. They may have run into problems with it.
