The reasons I would want fuel injection, most important to least important, are:
1. Less maintenance 75%
2. No choke, simplicity 20%
3. Fuel efficiency 5%, or less
I grew up during the transition from carbs to injection in cars. Aside from initial technology glitches (Crossfire, anyone?) the change was wonderful. My mileage is better, yes, but most important to me is that every time I start the car and drive off it works the same way, every time.
In the car, I like the fact that I don't have to pump the gas pedal to reset the choke, the fact that the fuel injection system automatically adjusts fuel mixture for any starting condition whether hot or cold, and that in the long run the fuel and ignition parameters are tuned to compensate for changes in the engine as it wears.
If I ever run across a set of injector/throttle body assemblies like Greg did I'd convert my '06 in a heartbeat.
