With pointy cams there is no reason why the carb'd bike cannot be competitive although you will need to make sure the bike is running at 'race temperature' when you do the jetting otherwise the power can drop off in a race due to the temperature changes.
Carb'd bikes are, generally, slightly lighter. Brakes on the newer bikes are usually better, more down to maintenance than any design changes though. Carb'd bikes don't suffer from the suspect crank although the failure rate is very low for the early fuel injected motors.
