It depends on your application and intended usage of the vehicle.
Bumping a Model A up to 200 hp is achievable, making it stay together and safe is another. (the rest of the car)

The Burtz motor would be perfectly acceptable as a side valve version and more reliable than a 90 year old version.

To each their own, just be happy you have the option.
