One is a "rail" type with individual injectors for each cylinder, and the other is a throttle body similar to what was used on vehicles in the late '80s. The throttle body is the cheapest and simplest system, so they say. Easier starting, smoother idle, smoother, but stronger acceleration of the engine + better fuel economy.

The thing that takes lots of power is the fuel pump which has to put out 40+ lbs. of pressure. Believe me the battery doesn't last very long with no charge going into it! Well I made it back to the airfield but by the skin of my teeth!
No more computer controlled fuel injection for me.
