Well, yeah . . . . .

But we're comparing inline 4's vs. boxer 4's.

In my opinion, the few advantages of a boxer layout (self-balancing & lower center of gravity) don't outweigh the disadvantages of having to run two valvetrains, two intake manifolds, and two exhaust manifolds.

Not to mention the servicing difficulties . . . .
