True, if you have a motor with twin port heads then twin dual throat carbies will give the best results. If you had a single port motor then dual throat carbies would not gain as impressive results.
A quality set of single throat dual carbies such as Kadrons or the new aftermarket solex should result a reasonable performance improvement for your $ spent over the standard carbies.

Phat Bus has the best set of Webers for a daily driver. A properly set up set of DCNF's are awesome. You can roar up to a stop sign and they won't stumble or spit like IDA's or IDF's will. They just idle away happy as a clam. The most important thing with Dual Carbs is the linkage on the carbs and between the carbs. Once the carbs are jetted properly and in sync make sure the linkage is tight so they will stay oin tune.

True, mine idle fine once my motor is warm. any rough idle with my motor is because of the size of the cam I'm running. My linkages never seem to need adjusting either.

This link covers quite a range of Webers and has fully detailed schematics that really shows why they are so good.

It really depends on which webers you are talking about.

I had a pair of single throat ICT 34's on my old 1776, it was a single port and ran a lot better than the stock carb but no where near the 40dcnf I upgraded to. That again was a good carb, but now i've picked up a motor with twin 40 drla Dell'Ortos which are about the equivalent of modern Weber 44's

If you can post a photo we'd be able to give you more information

here is a link to a weber guide if you cant post pics.

this guy has a lot of good info

http://aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/t1hpeng.htm

including a pretty good summary of carbs

http://aircooled.net/gnrlsite/resource/articles/carb101selection.htm

If you still have any questions just ask, there are a lot of pretty smart guys on KK that will be happy to help.

It's hard to get people to play with them much these days. The 34's that i had no one would go near. If they are set up right for your motor they will serve you very well.

Good luck
