Webber carb kit at rotaryshack or Racing beat holley?

has anyone purchased the webber carb kit for their fb, it look to me that is the one i would want to get. I've never used a holley befor, so befor i drop this money id like to know what everyones opinion on a putting the webber or holley.

i have headers with straight pipe all the way 2 1/2 inch. So what do you think my HP output would be.. rotaryshack says upto 60 HP with their webber kit for like $650ish .

racing beat says their holley kit gives 40 max with open headers... My engines compression is perfect so im leanin towards the webber

From what I hear if you order from Rotary Shack, expect to wait a lifetime before you get your product? Or do I have them and another company mixed around?

I have a RB holley, and like it alot, but I need to get center hung floats to alleviate a fuel dump problem into the engine if I turn very very sharply. It has been easy to tune, holds lots of gas, and idles perfectly, and I mean perfect.
But, on the other hand, I've never had a weber. I just know I can buy jets and everything to tune my holley down the street, I don't think it is the same for a weber.

I'd go with the Weber. I don't have a technical reason though. I just like it.
