Ksluna,
The people who starts tinkering the fuel mixture on the fly are the ones giving up on CIS. The lack of knowledge and understanding is the major problem for CIS owners. You don’t tinker the fuel mixture on the fly like you do with carburetors. That is the last thing you adjust. Once it is set, do no touch it. That’s the reason they put a plug to the access hole. So people who have no experience setting up the fuel mixture would only make the problem worse.
Look for ROW SC (‘78~’83) all have the larger intake runners and no OXS/ECU. However, the US/CAN spec late SC’s have better fuel economy and reliable like the rest of the SC family. If you are not handy, find a mechanic who understands and works with CIS cars. Or start to learn how to work with your CIS car. Do not make a comparison between CIS and Motronic. They are two totally different systems and introduced in different era.
