Will give you a little less horsepower than a properly tuned comparable carburetor, but more reliable in the long run.
Easier to tune when changing the cam. Ease of starting in different weather. The price was right especially with the Holley distributor(s) included. I can sell the extra and almost recoup my money

The tunability aspect is debatable. Once you know how to tune a carbureted engine, it's just as easy arguably if not easier. I don't need an expensive laptop, or updated software to tune my components, just a screwdriver. Carbs are a simpler design and easier to diagnose when there's a gremlin in the mix.

There's a learning curve with both, pick your poison.
 
In my days of working my way though college, managing a service station along the interstate, a gentleman who was fueling up, raised his hood, unwrapped his roast and basted it. Exhaust manifolds make for good cooking.
I’ve seen the crew on a paver pull a foil wrapped lump out of the asphalt mix and move it over the exhaust manifold. Turned out to be a perfectly slow cooked Beef Brisket.

There are actually whole cookbooks dedicated to Manifold Cooking.

Ford Published a cookbook AND offered a Ford T/A Accessory Manifold Cooker.

Can make some good stuff on a manifold!
