Dang, Denny. That question could be applied to almost any of the original parts. I agree with you, but I do think that some technology has improved over the years.
Maybe there are excellent post 1962 carbs (for a single-carburetor swap-out/in) that are more efficient, more reliable, and produce more power/spunk. It would be nice to hear about them?
Of course, applying that question to the benefits of having, 2,3, or 5 carbs (as you did) is another matter - HRL has hit it in the eye.
