Up side - superior tuning ability - great mid range control in addition to the "standard" bottom and top end tuning. Down side - less experienced tuner may get a little confused. They (the less experienced) would be better off not touching the "rear" needle. I'm sure the instructions will be clear - plus, the RB site is loaded with "help" reference material.



On a side note - my personal favorite carb was the Picco Torque. They were great carbs once you mastered them. By far the most difficult to master - but, once you did, they were "bottom-end" monsters.
Thanks Rich for your useful information, will check their site and might get that engine in couples of weeks.
