Smart Plugs Ignition System?

[David]

Less failure points. No ECU and wiring, no distributor, no cap, no rotor, no plug wires, no timing problems, no fouled plugs. Plus as he said you can run a MUCH leaner FA mixture (1:30?) with no detonation. Wouldn't you like to dial back the fuel to 1/2 what your using now for long highway trips? yeah, it would cut back on power, but imagine being able to cruise in your Audi 4000q or other NA I5 powered car and get 40 MPG on the highway, then when you get to your desination you crank back up the fuel for full power driving. I'm sure the engineer who spoke up a little while back can explain how timing is done, but it appears that timing is done properly, including advance.

My question exactly, what would be the point of implementing an product like 
this in an otherwise stock (or mostly) CIS3 car vs. going with a proper, full 
control engine management system?
