Having had to rebuild carbs only like 20 times and fiddle with fuel mixture a hundred more… I’ll take a hard pass on this.
This is heavily romanticized. It’s a complete PITA and if you are unlucky enough to not have adjustable enough carbs due to insufficient part availability that allows for micro-adjustments to flow - you’ll have an engine that always runs a bit off.
I’ll take modern FI any day.

After seeing the kind of hoops I have to go through to deal with a carb one, it became a complete no-brainer of a choice. Going with FI pretty much gave me one more thing in a vehicle that I will literally never have to worry or think about with no practical disadvantages, and that's worth a lot to me personally.
