I don't doubt this, and I'm glad you've had good luck with them, but on 
average, how many people do you think, as a percentage of SU owners, have had 
your 
record? Now compare that to the percentages for a weber.  Certainly there ARE 
SU success stories, just as there are plenty of people who got where they had 
to go using points.  It becomes a question, for some people, of how likely it 
is they'll have a success story to tell if they go with one setup over the 
other. If you're saying SUs can be made to work out with a combination of skill 
and luck, I'm with you.  If you're saying they're more likely (or as likely) to 
work out than a weber, well that's a different story and I'd say no.  If you 
took this 'practical' outlook too far, none of us would want MGs, so I suppose 
it's all a matter of degree and preference, and I'm glad you've found 
something that works for you.  For me, the day I sh*tcanned them was one I look 
back 
on with no regrets.
