Has anyone got any experience of fitting and using the 123 distributor on a Mini 998 with Stage 1. Is it a good change to make and what settings have you found work well.

I personally can't see what the advantage is as you have a reasonable number of curves to choose but they may not necessarily be what you need for your engine even the minimania settings page
Presumably the 123 will come into their own when the various standard fit distributors are no longer available.

I replied to this directly, but for the record, I'll reply to this thread as well.
Don't take the 123/Mini application list out of context. Sure there are a few stock Lucas service numbers that the curves in the 123/Mini cannot match, but those few applications are bone stock engines which rarely exist in the Mini community. Virtually everyone has modified their engines and that's what the curves were designed for. Have a look at my website,
For the engine in question, a modified 998 Cooper, the 32 degree family of curves would be an excellent place to start.
