John,
You gave a good answer. But there is one more aspect of the question that should be added. As stated, the HV coil plus electronic switching allows you to open the plug gap for a fatter spark at higher voltage. However, an additional point is that the higher voltage is pushing the limits of the rest of the secondary system. The distributor and plug wires may cause problems when exposed to higher voltage. The probability of misfire or crossfire increase. If the higher operating voltage causes misfiring, you may loose power. Bottom line, the cap, rotor and wires need to be in top condition. Any dirt or oil inside the distributor will cause more trouble than at lower voltages.
