Holley 885 carb vs Holley 94

[Pilot31135]

I’m wondering if the reason for the Mercury flatheads having a higher horsepower rating is due to cam or head differences or perhaps the 885 carb. The venturi’s are quite a bit larger in diameter than a 94, a 1/4” larger. Yes I know the merc had a 4” crankshaft. Is there a reason no one seems to use the 885 except for original restorations? I kinda like the strange design...
