There were a lot of reported failures on the V2 (thus why they claimed to fix it for the V3). Maybe it is actually fixed now, but I would not hold my breath.

There are a lot of advantages to using a (comparatively) low voltage/current trigger, but doing a full HEI conversion is a more reliable solution.

If you want to keep the stock look, that does limit your options. Good luck whatever solution you choose.
