The carb selection and then tuning is in the end about the same work as installing throttle body injection. I agree there is another gain in performance if port injection is used over the TB route but at the higher cost and a much more visual change too.
The Holley Commando 950 is a real improvement to any carb. The units controller (computer) keeps it at ideal ratios and is a big difference over a carb. Installation is straight forward = bolt in in-line electric fuel pump, install or plumb a fuel return line, hang controller and wire loom, replace carb with a throttle body unit, maybe biggest hassle is welding bungs for 02 sensor or 2 sensors is even better in exhaust, install a couple of sensors and then load software. They have a big enough library of fuel maps to chose from you will get close and then repeat the run and learn mode so it self corrects mapping. The 950 is a huge difference from earlier Projection ECI that needed a bunch of self performed tunning and learning curve was steep for me anyway. I battled my way through the earlier model so am now even comfortable with it but it was a ***** at first.
