I am 6 months in to a nationwide search for a top-quality 914. I have amassed detailed info on many 914s for sale, and learned basic info on many dozens more. As a result I have unintentionally become something of an expert on current 914 "inventory" and pricing.
IME, at least for the "nicer" condition cars, carbs are a noteworthy deduction in resale value. In the cars I tracked, owners generally asked less, and they virtually always got less, than the FI cars.
I also have experienced the different (and IMHO, much poorer) drivability characteristics of the carb cars. If carbs are your strong personal preference, then go for it, but otherwise spend the time to sort out the FI, it's well worth it.
Just my $.02.
