Holley's science vs Edelbrock simplicity?

I get a kick out of the brand preferences here, mines the best yours is junk. Holley is the sbc of carbs, that is if you can't make power with one you shouldn't try. The carter/ Eldelbrock worked before all this alcohol fuel but I'm not crazy about them now, hell all the fuel disappears after you shut down the motor.
But I have to admit I haven't bought an AFB since the 70s, ran a TQ since the 80s and I don't know what a quadrajet is. So I must use Holleys and the last one a bought was a XP 950 E85 that only needed float and idle adjustment out of the box. Four pulls on the dyno and we were done. It's a beautiful carb at $900, my only complaint.
