Okay - forget everything else...
Are Carbs really THAT much more thirsty than ITB's?

Depends  
A well set up carb can come quite close to the ideal fuelling for an engine over most of it's operating range, in which case the difference
between carbs and injection/throttle bodies will be minimal. However carbs that get that well set up are few and far between. Many people don't
even have the right size body and chokes let alone going as far as properly tuning the carb, most do the main jets and idle and leave it pretty much
at that. By the same token a poorly mapped injection system will be just as bad.
