Tesla's quote is still good!  The magnifier is capable of much longer 
sparks ultimately than any to coil system.  More power can be poured into 
smaller systems to yield any imaginable spark length.  The two coil 
system will forever be limited by its geometry and the required proximity 
of the primary system.
