Or does it come down to those who install carbs, also do a lot more to the TS' internals?
And for those who care, I'd also think a TS with an EFI system would also get considerably better gas mileage than with a pair of 45's.

Biba,
It just comes down to cost - check out what the Alfaholics guys have done (alfaholics.com). You can add twin 45s and programmable ignition to get most of the benefits of throttle bodies for less cost, but with a significant improvement over the standard fuel injection. But you're right that throttle body fuel injection would be better, you just need deeper pockets!
