Summit = Digital box, higher voltage than MSD, no pills (uses a dial to adjust RPM), cheaper.

MSD = Analog, PITA pills, lower voltage than the Summit, cost more.

The Summit box sounds good to me, and yes, it's the same as a Mallory (I still went with the MSD 6AL just because it's proven).

If you look through their book they have comparisons and it looks like you get more for the money
