OER vs. Weber

I just recently learned of the Japanese version of the Weber side draft made by the OER Corporation. I was looking into different carb set up's and was considering the Mikuni's or the Weber's, but I wanted polished bodies on the carbs. You can't polish a Weber because the body is basically pot metal whereas the Mikuni is aluminum bodies and is offered in a polished version. Weber did offer the 45DCOE in a chromed version but recently quit making them due to problems. I really didn't want chromed carbs anyway. Not that I have to have polished carbs as I'm more concerned with performance, but I've been hearing some great stuff about the Mikuni set up.

The OER side draft is a carry over of the old SK carb and the Mikuni side draft, very popular with the Nissan "Z" crowd. The are slightly more money than the Weber and offer a few features the Weber doesn't.

Still undecided on a system yet, but it will have to bolt to the Weber Cannon manifolds I just had ported and both the Mikuni and OER's are direct bolt on's.

Has anyone had any experience with either the Mikuni's or OER's?
