[DeTomaso] Is there any clear advantage of one coil per cylinder?

There is a slight difference in spark between the two plugs in a wasted 
spark setup. One plug fires with negative voltage on the tip, the other 
with a positive voltage.

A little spark energy is also wasted on the non-firing plug, but that is 
apparently very little when there is no compression.
