Actually, there are MUCH bigger PITAs in the world of Porsche.
And for a post-1969 car with Bosch CDI, there's only about 420mA of current flowing through the points, so Porsche eliminated the condenser entirely from the distributor. The capacitor in the box charges so fast that "Dwell," which is so important in Kettering ignition, isn't very important with CDI+points.
Here's the trouble with Pertronix or an optical-trigger ignition like the Crane: when it fails, you can't tell. When it fails intermittently, you can't tell. Points are easy enough to diagnose. Replacement? Remove screw, install new set, snug screw, set gap, apply clamp load to screw, connect faston to terminal. SWB points are only slightly more difficult and easier if you pop the distributor out, a two minute task.
I would MUCH rather be stranded at roadside with ignition problems using points than any kind of hall-trigger. I admit that the hall-trigger is more accurate in combination with EFI, as in the case of Motronic. But when the position sensor fails? How do you tell? JMHO.
