If one went with a 14" jack plate, would that forego the need for the added performance from the bracket?

I'd opt for hanging a E-tec 90 on the transom. The beauty of the 90 is its weight to power ratio. Its the closest thing to the weight of the early 115 2-strokes, with nearly equivalent power, and 2-3x the fuel efficiency.
Only my opinion, but I wouldn't trade the possibility of a 2-3 mph gain on the top end for the balance and handling the transom mount would offer.
