Well, looks like the LM is winning out so far, I can see why, apart from the cut-out being a little fiddly, and the odd issue with the digphram plate, there probly one of the easiest to service (Especially if its just to clean out the fuel section) and they are definatly hardier than one might think a plastic carby would be.
I still prefer the G3, even if just sentimental!
