Can anyone quantify for me the difference between an O-360 and an IO-360?  I mean, I know one's carburetted and one's fuel-injected, but does the injected engine have more horsepower?  Better specific fuel consumption?  Weigh more or less?

Is there any basis for choosing one over the other besides cost, carburetor icing issues, and fuel-injected hot-start issues?

It's safe to say I know very little about this subject, so you won't insult me by stating what you think should be obvious.
