Like I said, I never said one was better than the other. OP asked for thoughts on the cast mani and I said it was heavier, big deal.
Like I also said earlier, wieght ads up. 5lbs here 10 lbs there. Less work for your engine to accellerate, also less stress on your drivetrain. Less work for your brakes to stop you too.
I am in no way trying to steer anybody away from running a cast mani.
With a direct port setup you'd be less likely to kill an intake plenum with a N2O backfire anyways :D
Then you just turn throttle plates into potato chips.
