My gripe with Simtek is the lack of knock control.. you're hardly going to notice your engine light flashing away to say there's det when you're slamming through the gears!

I have a simtek on my classic and this is something I worry about. Surely there's a way to get some sort of audible warning connected to it??

An alternative is to get a proper knock link.

However, the standard ECU actually pulls timing if it hears det, which can help save your engine. It's no good having something flash or beep at you when there's det as it may be too late.

If Syvvecs wasn't so expensive that would be my choice. However I would see no benefit of an aftermarket ECU right now.. other than to eliminate the MAF.
