It's all personal preference. Now Gas is starting to gain traction...
Yes, the key words personal preference 🙂 They definetly are a different engine. But if you can get on top of it, they run really nice. The DZ140 wasn't the nicest of engines. They are much better now, especially with cdi. Diversity is what makes it more exciting.
Gas is coming along and I wouldn't mind having a go myself, but time poor at the moment. I don't see a future in top level FAI for them though.

There's nothing like the sweet sound of a YS amongst a field of 25 competitors 😀
