The biggest difference is in the savings of $1500 in purchasing a carburetor over an EFI.
Last year we purchased a new 2014 carb. Yamaha for under $9000 out the door from The Villages Golf Cart store. One year and over 4000 miles and it runs like a champ. Gas mileage averages 43-47 MPG which is less than an EFI cart, but the $1500 savings will buy plenty of gas to make up the mileage difference.
My initial thoughts, outside of the lesser price tag was the possibility of EFI issues once the cart is out of warranty 4+ years down the road, and the potential of large repair bills.
I have driven both the carb and EFI models when we were looking, and there is virtually no difference in drivability.
Test drive them both and then you can make the correct decision that fits your lifestyle.
