6870 or a Haltech

Currently I have a 1985 vette with a 6870 ECM. Should I just buy a new Haltech computer for $650 or upgrade to a LT1 computer.

What Tomcat said,

and it takes some fancy machining to put the Optispark guts in a distributor housing, but it's been done.

The 95 LT1 PCM is fun to use.
