AVS2 compared to Street Demon?

Get-er done! Looking forward to your report.
I can't get my car out of storage until mid-late April so I've still got a couple months to ponder the question.

One thing I have heard is that the Street Demon won't accept a drop base air cleaner because of interference with the choke mechanism. Does the AVS2 suffer from that or will it take a standard drop base?
AVS2 I have needed about 3/8" spacer between the drop base aircleaner base and the carb. The fuel line inlet was hitting the aircleaner. No problem with the choke.
