The only Strombergs I delt with were on my '70 which I think were CD 175, that sounds familiar (the 175 part I'm sure of, can't remember about the CD). The carbs looked good but I think were a victim of faulty compensating valves and I never could justify putting money into them with so many good SU carbs around.
Can't agree more about the simplicity of SU. If a dope like me can get those to run smooth they must be pretty simple.

The HIFs haven't required much adjustment over the years and have always worked well through seasonal temperature changes -10F to 100F.

Wish I could say the same about the HS that replaced the Strombergs. The HS has been good, but I found more tempermental to temperature changes, and the sticking jet when the choke is applied still drives me nuts.
