[xk] distributor vs. magneto?

I have put aside a vintage Lucas competition magneto and am
considering fitting that to the engine in my XK120SE in lieu of
conventional distributor since I am finishing it as a competition
car.

Any experience with pros and cons would help me decide whether
this is wise.
