What about point bounce/float at high rpm's?  What about multiple spark 
discharge in cars
with high compression and radical cams, or capacitive discharge, higher voltage 
coils?
Another plus with high voltate ignitions is that you can increase spark plug 
gap.

There may be negligible improvement in stock engines under normal road 
conditions, but as
rpm's rise and as you make engine mods, a better ignition should give you better
performance.
