Personally I'd be getting hold of a (good) used standard fitment carb to compare performance with what you have..........The Webber is an alternative but a bloody expensive alternative with little or no gain in fuel consumption and performance.

I've put a weber on mine and found it too be quite good performance wise but no better on fuel consumption but there my pierburg had probably had it.
I was lucky that I didn't have to pay for the weber I would of been very disappointed if I'd paid £260 for it, which is what they are new.
If you can get one cheap try it out otherwise I'd be looking at getting a good second hand pierburg from ebay about £20

If you are going to lpg a webbered DG then the adapter plate lifts the carb higher than the peiburg and can make fitting the gas ring problematic. I found no difference in running between a 17 year old pieburg and a brand new webber. Go second hand.
