Mal, Both types of carbs are made of the same high zinc based diecast material. In my experience both types give good performance but parts are easier to get for Webers. Dellorto's are not cheaper, or a copy of a Weber. They were developed as a competitor and it is commonly argued they may even have a bit better mixture control.
If you fit chokes you may get even better performance from those carbs, unless the housing has been modified and special extended auxiliary vents have been fitted. Weber parts and Dellorto's cost about the same here.

When it brecks Delortos are rubbish but Webers can be welded back up. Delortos are a cheaper copy of a weber,,(both made in itly?) I use 40mm that have no chokes.Most people running 40mm or 45mm are choked down to about 32-38mm anyway. Weber parts cost more to replace.. SU linkages will not work..But you can use parts from your datto so the factory rod system is still used with twin side drafts. Ever woundered why their are more holes in the firewall where the piovt is?.. Its like the twins are stock fitment.
