I was in the same place as you over the summer--seriously considering Webers.
I have "pulled the trigger" and am having a set of 58 mm Berg IDA carbs made for my FE, and should have them on my car in a couple weeks. I didn't go with 48 mm Webers because I was concerned they would be too small for my bored and stroked FE (at higher RPMs).
As long as you go into the switch to Webers with your "eyes wide open" about what's required to get them dialed in you should be fine.
It's hard to beat the look, sound, or throttle response of the Webers.
