Does that mean that the Powerjection 1 does have ignition control and the Powerjection 3 does not?

Yes.

I like that III, but I'm not so sure about putting the computer on top of the engine.
Actually, the powerjection 1 is a throttle body style fuel injection setup.
Your points about megasquirt, intakes and fuel rails, etc. are quite accurate, IF you have a 5.0 based engine. For those of us with FE's, Clevlands, etc. that do not have readilly, or cheaply available intakes, the projection 1 and the new projection 111 would seem to be a great option, and in most cases, probably our cheapest option.

proection 111? haven'theard of it, got any specifics or a link or something?
Go to Professional Products Online and click on their new catalog link. It is in the fuel injection section. It is very similar to the projection 1 except it has the actual ECM built right into the side of the throttle body, so no wiring harness except for, I believe, 3 or 4 wires. It does not have spark control like the projection 1, but it otherwise is the same, self tuning and all. Looks like a pretty neat setup.

My bad. I had a brain fart there for awhile. I will now spell out "powerjection" one thousand times, well, maybe once.
No, it does not have the timing functions like the powerjection 1, but for an FE or any other engine that does not have a thick film type distributor available it can't be used anyway.

If you have a 390 FE and want EFI couldn't you use a truck intake manifold from the 80s ? They were still using the 360 FE motor in trucks and had EFI setups. I'm sure with some porting those intakes would work 1/2 way decent. I doubt it would work on the larger FE motors but I'm rather sure that the 360 and the 390 intake manifolds interchange.
actually Mass-Flo has a kit for the FE that uses a TFI dizzy, i believe it's either a Mallory or Accel piece, getting one seperately from Mallory or Accel may be a chore but i'm sure it could be done.
Oh man, I made a mistake. It was the 460 motor not the 360 motor. The 460s had EFI. Thanks for correcting me =)
