Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

I'm coming away with the overview that a street car for a self-tuner wants an Edelbrock and a strip car with an experienced carburetor tuner wants a Holley. Having had both over the years
I guess its preference of the owner. I do feel that my AVS2 is much easier to tune than the Holley I removed for the Edelbrock. I did try for two years to tune the Holley but just couldn't get it.
Wasn't for a lack of trying or advice, I sold $250 worth of tuning parts along with the carburetor for $200 and felt lucky to get that. That said, my car is a street car and the AVS2 was not bolt and
go. My wideband and plugs told me I had to learn how to get it better and I did in about 6 weeks of trying and experimenting. Like dogs, there are no bad carburetors.
