[DML] Higher Amperage Alternator - costs / benefits?

[Greg Zapf <x86Daddy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've owned my '81 for a year, and it has the Ducellier.  It actually
performs *just* well enough, but if I add anything more, like a
powered sub, etc...  I expect it will no longer be enough.

So, my question to those with electrical knowledge or experience with
a variety of alternators in the DeLorean: what are the costs and
benefits to higher and lower amperage replacement alternators?  Is
there an upper limit of what is recommended in the D?  What puts more
strain on the already weak system (in terms of small, old wires,
etc...), higher or lower amperage?  If I upgrade, I'm really looking
for what's best in terms of possibly increasing reliability of the
entire electrical system / preserving what's there, and providing a
bit more juice for anything else I may plug in.

Thanks!
