Rotax has clearly decided EFI is the way to go. But have you seen the complexity of their implementation on the 912iS? Running an EFI like Megasquirt or SDS in an aircraft can and has been done, but it introduces a lot of new failure modes that you need to understand and make a conscious choice whether to address them or live with them. And addressing them equals time and (frequently) complexity. That's fine if that's your thing, and the results should be a smoother running and more economical engine. But don't underestimate the effort required to get it working well and reliably.
I'd love to put EFI on my KR2S when I get to setting up the engine. But I'd rather fly than tinker, so I probably won't.
