Remapping the throttle in the ECU should do the same thing, but having a couple mods you can switch into would be fun until the novelty wears off.

While I may sometimes miss the direct feeling of connection to the throttle plate, the overall simplicity and increased reliability of electronic throttle makes me prefer it to mechanical throttles.

Remember that electronic throttles eliminated cruise control actuators, special traction control motors, mechanical fast idle valves, idle air control valves, throttle cable & possibly cruise control cables, etc.
