My reason for going efi was the 041 cam in my 10.5:1 iron headed 400! and i LOVE q-jets. When it was a daily driver,,,,you would spend the first 5 minutes pat, pat, pat on the gas so it would stay running, then (due to the fine tuning required to run too much compression with iron heads) depending on if is "wet" outside as to how bad it ran. The EFI allowed ME to put enough in it when its cold that it would actually stay running.....AND not be loaded up when it its warm. I could also INFINITELY adjust the AFR to the cylinders a little wet (not pig RICH) while "cruising" at low throttle.

Something else for the OP.....most stuff has been mentioned; however, one other point to make about EFI is your charging system MUST BE AWESOME!! rock solid voltage is a MUST for efi to perform correctly. So if you have NOT upgraded to at least a cs130 or 144.....this would be the time.
