RB20 carb advice

Hi all,
in the process of getting RB20 kit for my series 3. AF reccomend a delorto 34mm for it, which is about £150 from them. I know this is a new kit and AF probably know best but I was wondering if there are any other makes which would suit such as Mikuni and if so are they any cop?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Sef

Ive got a 30mm phbh on mine, mainly because thats what i had, and i had run out of money :cry:
Im not convinced that it need a 34/35mm ( if you want a road going, ecconomical scoot)
I know the phbh is not the best carb for a reed valve engine, and will change to a flatside in the future, but will stay with a 30mm or maybe go to 32mm.
I had to use a stepped manifold rubber which i got off epay, vw manifold rubbers or somthing? £4 ish for 2 :D
If you want the details let me know

Yes ive been watching a few dellys and mikunis.
Dellys seem to go for between £35 to £75 and mikunis seem to go for between £60 to £140.
Seems most people want mikunis.
But the one that go for the top end are the ones im bidding on :roll: and the cheaper ones go when i forget to bid :roll: think thats called "sods law" :)
