Steve:

The new distributor will NOT address the valve train noise which is due to 
the wear of the cam gear and chain.

It will address the issue of catastrophic failure of the plastic gear which 
can leave you stranded, however.

Paul Royal (16 RoT) and John Larson on the 20v list have both experienced 
this failure...

Alexander can address the price difference.

BTW, you didn't mention whether you need one for the 90/CQ 20v (7A engine) 
or the 200q20vT (3b engine)
