Well, $700 for a complete Weber setup (filters, linkage, manifolds and carbs) is pretty much normal. Indeed, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you called them and found the price has gone up since the dollar is tanking against the Euro. I've heard the price for a full system is as much as $1000 now. The actual carbs you'll get from any of the vendors will be the same. The rest of the parts will be different. CB Performance is supposed to have the best linkage. Aircooled.net appears to have the best after sale support.
If you're looking for responsiveness and you're not fitting a cam, stay with 40s, and use small-ish venturis (probably 28mm for a 1.8, and 30mm for a 2.0). Talk to the vendor about what's necessary to fit the vacuum advancer so you can stay with the stock distributor. If not, then be ready to pony up another $250 or so for a non-vac Mallory. Do NOT cheap out and use a Bosch 009 or you will be unhappy with the performance.
