Torn between Carb vs Holley Sniper

[Ultrasummer]

Well my old 307 finally gave up the ghost and died. Time for a replacement. Luckily...I have a guy. So we are talking about different options. I just want a dependable, not a hot rod, reliable 350. More talks, more options. Then we come to the point of using my existing (new) Holley 2 barrel carb 350 cfm, vs going Holley Sniper with this. The Sniper does sound kind of "turn key" and I like that. I'm aware of the price. Would any of you guys put a brand new Holley 2 barrel on a new GM 350 engine? Or should I put it on the shelf for another project on down the line and go with the Sniper?
