I found (I think) the article you read. Notice he is a MGA (British sport car) expert comparing 4 cylinder distributors that already have 60 degrees of dwell (he says). Naturally, dwell isn't a concern to him so he focuses on stability and reliability for the MGA over the Lucas distributor. From what I read about Lucas electrical systems, most anything is better.
