The advance using ITB against Webers is that you may route them in a other direction with a bent and maybe find more space so you do not touch the brake booster.
Totally not agree with your carb explanation, poor driving at low RPM, cold starting issues etc... are tuning problems, not Weber problems. Weber was standard equipment on million Alfa's, Aston Martin's, Porsches and many others, they did not give any of the problems you mention. It is indeed the most misunderstanding and if I got a customer calling me they also talk about no Weber's, hate Weber's and a lot of story's. I build, tune and fit Weber's for living, we do not seems to have these problems, not even in fairly high tuned engines. We usual end up halve the price as when we would fit ITB's and ECU.
BTW, if your car would be here, I can build and fit a set of Weber's, not even using my dyno, just fit, synchro and set CO and will already perform so well it would take you many hours do the same with your ECU. Don't want to attack or whatever but just want to make clear you should not underestimate a correct setup Weber. And story's about less consumption with ECU etc, if there is, it will be hardly noticed.
