Vs nothing?
Can't imagine there is ever a downside with a air pan with a scoop as pictured.
However, depending on height available under the scoop, seems any velocity stack, even very short would-be a plus with an air pan.
I would think the biggest unknown would be what effects any wind shear across the carb might be at play regarding scoop inlet air velocity vs internal scoop volume past/downwind of the carb inlet.

edit, but with a pan that big nearly extending out over the headers, I'd be inclined to take some preventive measures to prevent generating another large heat source from radiating? more heat into inlet air.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
