In the end both kinds of system can achieve the same headline figure because essentially the control system is for getting you to that point. Both kinds of system do that. The difference is in how you get there.
Trionic eliminates the distributor ignition system so allows the engine to run the maximum amount of ignition advance at all load points. This makes the engine much smoother and unlocks torque which wouldn't be accessible with a distributor.
On the fuel side it is a sequential injection system so the injectors only fire when the cylinder actually requires the fuel. Batch injection simply fires twice per engine cycle so a lot of fuel is wasted. Sequential injection increases MPG.
Lastly, reliability and refinement. Powerful engine starting, smooth idle, no requirement to constantly fiddle with ignition timing adjustment. A basic self-diagnostics system helps with tracking down faulty components.
When it comes to tuning, the trionic 5.5 is now fully mappable and you can log the drives monitoring all parameters which enables professional levels of tunability.
