Direct injection gassers fixed the atomization bit.

True, but at the current it is heinously expensive to modify or gain performance out of the current crop of Gasoline DI engines outside the realm of stock parts.

They also do have a rev limit currently iirc they can't just go static or fire through multiple strokes.

Give em time. Same was said about EFI a few years back, look at it now, people build em on the kitchen table.
I like carbs too, I've had lots, I have a couple now, they are still piss poor
for daily use more often than not compared to EFI.
Or even MFI/K-Jet.

To the OP, I vote diesel if it's an option. Screw gas and it's assorted BS.

I'm not sure about that. DI Gas is pretty much like Common Rail Diesel with more headaches and spark control. Those peizeo injectors aren't cheap and I don't see them getting that way. The control modules maybe, but there's a substantial amount of work to make them.

I agree here, if the option is there, go common rail diesel, of if you just don't like the modern technology of electricity, go for an OM603 or just any non CR diesel. Hell could freeze over and three apocalypses could come and it would still be rattling along.
