Change from Drive by Cable or Not?

Change from Drive by Cable or Not?
So I know there are numerous Threads on this but can't seem to get a real good answer, and I can't decide.
I have a nice LQ9 408 stroker that was a running driving car a week ago. Motor and T56 were in a GTO putting out 525 rwhp. I have pulled the motor for my 66 chevelle build. The car now has the Fast 92mm TB wich is drive by cable obviously. I also have a stock GM LS3 TB that was for another build, that I am selling. Question is should I keep the TB that's on there or go through making the change to DBW. If changed what will all have to be done to make that change? (Pedal, reluctor wheel, pcm,ect.) Is it worth it? Suggestions and reasons are greatly appreciated. This is my first LS build if you couldn't tell!

I would never want to convert to DBW, as the operation/response is never as good as a cable. With tuning it can be close, but still not the same IMO.
Wish I could easily convert my daily driver to a cable throttle and delete the DBW junk.

Thanks for your opinions. I have to say I'm suprised. With all the things I've read on the site it seemed there were more supports in the DBW route. I'm appreciative and look forward to more responses.
