I like the simplicity of it and the absolute control it gives you. I had to do some tweaking of the carb linkage on my Edelbrock 1405 to get the fast idle cam to kick in earlier so that it will still hold the RPM up with partial choke. That way I don't have to back out of the garage with one foot on the gas and one on the brake. When I had an electric choke, I didn't like how it would kick out of fast idle the first time I touched the gas pedal after starting. This was problematic for me because my driveway is sloped and I need to give it a little gas to maneuver my way out of the garage. I don't want it coming down off fast idle quite yet at that point though.
