What do you like about the B engine? "B engines suck"

So I live on a city street that gets a lot of foot traffic. The four Saabs in the driveway usually attract attention and I'm usually out there working on one of them. People will often tell me of the Saabs they've owned, etc.
The other day a former Saab mechanic stopped to chat as he was walking by. He has given up Saabs to work on bio-Diesel cars. Pretty cool I think.
Anyway- I proudly showed him my 1980 900T and told him I was rebuilding the B engine. He looked at me like I had two heads and recommended that I drop a different engine in there. Because, he said, "those engines suck."
Anyone care to defend the B engine? I don't expect it to last as long as the H or B202, or have as much power but I am hoping it'll be somewhat fun to drive.
Thanks for any opinions on the B engine.
