Properly set-up they can't be beat. I have a buddy with a 78 Cordoba with a 360 Mag in it. 4000 lbs 3.21 gear on 275/60/15 rubber. Mild cam maybe a step or two up from a "good" stock 340 cam, headers, M1 dual plane and a finessed TQ. Has run 12.90's on slicks and gets 22 mpg highway.

Yup... i agree, and i'll go you one further... they'll save me a good 5lbs over my Holley too... and weight-reduction is a BIG aspect ov this build.
But... they're weird. Guys that know how to fix 'em and tune 'em are weird. They just look weird. Finding good cores is near-impossible too. I know Holleys pretty well, my friends know anything about Holleys i dont, parts for Holleys fall out ov the sky every Wednesday, and i have good ones kicking around already. Also a billion ways to trick one out too.
