How about the harness? Do you understand this to be an even swap? Guess this is there answer to the Champion buyout of Unison Slick.

After years of fighting all the ADs on Bendix mags I'll never buy another one. The impulse coupling one was the worst but the coils and other parts were just too much.

When the Bendix mags on my Champ go I'll replace them with Slicks. It will be the third aircraft I'll do this on.

Still can't beat the old Eisemann's

I agree, I've been running Eisemann's for 20 years and haven't had any problems at all.
There's only 1 AD to replace a set of bad coils and that's it.
I personally like the unshielded mags and harness and will continue to run them and keep my plane nearly original.
