Is anyone running a 4150 TBI? Pros & cons of such a setup?

I did a search and found everything BUT...! I have the Vic Jr/L92s/4150 TB top end for my 450 stroker. I have been thinking about running a TBI instead of fuel rails and was wondering the pros & cons of such a setup and if anyone is running TBI.
I guess the only real reason that I want to run a TBI, is to clean up the look - in other words, no fuel rails or injectors; I think it makes for a cleaner look.![Winky](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_wink.gif)

You lose the advantages of direct port injection. You are at the mercy of the intake distributing the fuel just as a carbureted motor does.
The typical TBI throttle body does not flow as well due to the injectors being in the air stream.
You may as well put the stock intake back on as it will likely be better.
