bigger is GENERALLY better at higher revs (dodgeman is gonna grill me for that), if you go for twin sidies you will get more power up top and therefore a higher maximum hp reading, but the low end could be sacraficed compared to a single side or downdraught

If i killed you we would all lose out & i would have one less peer to debate with, so I'l pass on the homicide because you are absolutely right. You emphasised the "generally" part & we both know that if the engine lives in the higher rpm band a lot, then this is a good setup if properly tuned.
You also quite correctly wrote that an induction that is optimised for top end power will very likely suffer low speed problems, & if the engine is used as a town hack, this might be too heavy a price to pay in the long run for some.
A single side [or down] draught just doesn't measure up in the d**k measuring stakes, yet it may prove to be the best solution in many street applications. It would certainly be a lower cost option if new parts are bought & would be easier & cheaper to tune.
A decent Webber or DelOrto will flow enough air to feed just about any street driven A series very nicely, but it doesn't have that WOW factor that impresses the boys, it just works good.
