A couple of more questions though:

Do I have to be concerned about cam wipeage with todays oils?

Is HEI *that* much better than the dual point unit I have? Its only got about 15K on it...
How about a Mallory Unilite? They look pretty nice and looks like it's the same size as the one I have.

Todays oils suck for flat tappet cams. I add some ZDDP Plus when I change the oil. I had swapped to an HEI from a fairly new points distributor, and really couldn't tell much of a difference. HEI is nice as far as maintenance though. Can't help on the Mallory question.
