Yes, EFI is potentially ultimately better than an carbs or basic injection for a variety of reasons (knock detection, better ignition and fuel control as only a few things). I say potentially because without the know how, any fuelling system is rubbish, no matter how many failsafes and benefits it can bring.
Maybe it's me but there seem to be more threads here recently about EFI going wrong that a 'bodged' K-Jet system
.
i see your point mate, any management working properly can be reliable. i know plenty of people running mfi with no problems at around the 180 bhp mark, but my point was as soon as you start trying to get over 200 bhp and beyond they become very temperamental in my experience. at this point you need to be looking at alternative management to provide safer more reliable fueling. the reason you don't see many threads about high power ke-jet cars and 5th injectors going wrong is because not many people bother with it anymore,
anyway the mfi efi debate is as old as the hills so i'll agree to disagree on this one
