I suspect it's the same reason the OE engineers went that direction too, because carbs are certainly cheaper.

I think both still have their place - the EFI in my bird has been great ever since I ironed out issues - it wasn’t always the case and has left me stranded. My concern with non-OEM EFI is if one breaks down it is definitely a tow home or to a shop - you ain’t fixing the computer on the side of the road. Assuming one uses points and all other factory replacement type parts, you can usually repair on the side of the road. Same with an in-tank pump - if that fails you will likely not have a spare for replacement and even if you do, you need to have an access door in the trunk like Larry (FormulaJones) has.
