Which Pertronix ignitor for V-8? 1181 or 1181LS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Going for low maintenance and reliability on the '65 283 beater/driver project, and I'll be losing the breaker points for solid state ignition. My question is for those that have done this many times: PerTronix 1181 or 1181LS ? The LS is the lobe sensing unit which does not use the magnet ring. Is either any more or less reliable or significantly simpler to install? I know BOTH are easy enough, but with the LS one, I guess you don't even have to pull the dizzy.
Doing this SOON, so if you've got an opinion, lets hear it.
Thanks ahead of time.
