Maybe easier to actually install (if possible as per Gib's doubts) but thatd be about it.

Take a look into the mouth of any carb and youll see a venturi- a restriction now times that by 5.
The air sensor plate on a kjet wont be anywhere near as restrictive as 5 carbs and itll meter the fuel more efficiently because thats what Bosch engineers designed it to do.
If carbs were any major advantage at all, everyone would be using them, but theyre not.
Carbs need extreme amounts of know how to set up and even then, theyre a compromise setup compared to a bespoke injection system that can be altered at will to supply fuel in just the right quantity and atomisation levels to promote good idle, part and full throttle.
Then theres the absolutely compromised fuelling for economy and power- DCOE's are a good carb, but compared to a fully mappable injection system ( even compared to Kjet) theyre a very poor second choice.

Not at all. That inlet manifold serves a good purpose; its a tuned length to enhance torque.
If you replace it with a shorter setup say 5 carbs, you lose the resonance effects that the manifold provides and end up with a big hole in the torque curve, for a possible gain in power at the top end- but very likely itd be out of the engines normal rpm range.

But are you comparing like for like?
Did engine A have some fault before the swap?
Injection really IS far and away superior in most every way over carbs and its not even that hard to understand- try working out whats happening within a carb at any particular time......

Might look "cool" but itd be a backward step as regards power and torque- which is where youd like to go?

Bike TB's can be had off ebay for little cost in triple and double forms, the expense comes when you go to get it all mapped if you can do the rest yourself, but in any case why bother?
Optimise the original head, induction and exhaust system and then force induct the engine to take advantage.

For me, its a no brainer- would i like a "cool" looking setup or a powerful one?

Whichever you decide id not knock the plan as its each to his own, just dont expect much in the way of exceptional outputs if you go the one direction.
