All I'd have to say is ask someone who has done it. Ask about:

(a) dependability
(b) mileage
(c) ease of repair/maintenance
(d) cold weather operation (below 45 degrees F)

I'll leave it at that. :)

Subject: Wanted: Factory(?) Dual Carb setup for '81 2.0 + FI system FT/S

I'm interested in replacing the worthless Weber progressive currently
residing in my engine bay with a factory-style dual carb setup. I
believe
these came on  Euro-version aircooled Vanagons; please correct me if I'm
wrong. I have available for trade a complete factory aircooled FI system
including the airbox, ECU etc, in very nice/clean condition with all new
hoses/lines. I've never had the the system up and running, so all I know
about it is that it's complete and reputed to work well by the PO. I'd
also
be interested in selling this system outright, make me an offer. Yes,
Matthew, I know the FI system is supposed to be the best solution for
these
cars, but I've decided I just don't want to screw with it! Carb issues I
can
deal with, electronic systems I cannot. If anyone's got a factory setup,
or
even something that works as good or better, let me know! Thanks for
looking-
