Personally, after you properly gut the RL manifold, it is definitely better than the Type I or II.

I have to pull my intake manifold again for some measurements, but I really don't want to buy new gaskets for the upper, middle, and lower plenum. It's a pain in the butt. You have to use a small cut off wheel, titanium carbide grinding bits ($175), a port and polish kit ($65), and wear safety glasses. Just cut, grind, and polish until you're happy with the whole thing. It took me about 5 hours to gut and polish my intake manifold. I started to get tired in the last hour, but I took no shortcuts. I just regret not taking pictures.
