Default Electronic Fuel Injection vs carburetor on 9.9
So I am in the market for my first 9.9 hp outboard and I had my heart set on the Mercury short shaft. But today I stumbled upon a Suzuki 9.9 for basically the same price that has EFI instead of a carburetor. Seems like a no brainer to go with the Suzuki even though it's 15 pounds heavier...am I missing something? FYI I know nothing about this subject that's why I'm asking the question!

Also I found a 9.8 hp Tohatsu that is lighter and cheaper than the Mercury...given tohatsu makes the small mercury motors, again it seems like a no-brainer to go with the Tohatsu if I decide to go with a carburetor...anyone agree/disagree?
