Whats actually wrong with the carbs you have now.? Pods are always going to be harder to tune than the airbox. What size are the carbs you have now.?

Is there any more work done to your engine.? If it is stock, the 32-34's may be too big, have you tried any jet changes to tune it better.?
CV's are usually better than the older type carbs when set up well. Stock carbs can also be a pain in the butt to get right, most all older carbs will need a complete rebuild and set up, are you sure the CV's can't be set up correctly.? A couple of guys here run later model CV carbs and love them, i think Terry In Australia uses the 32mmCV's of the CBX 750 Honda and he loves them, far better than stock....

I got the dual Mikuni setup from Cycle-X several years ago--tight fit but no problems!

I've been looking into a set of Keihin CR's for my 750. From everything I've heard they're great carburetors, but I'm just not ready to pull the trigger and spend that much money.

They are great if you are racing. I was going to buy some as well but after reading about them for some time now you are better off with something else. They have poor bottom end response {well, they are a race carb} and there are better carbs out there for street performance. They also don't have as much adjustment of something like the Mikuni carbs. I am going with the Mikuni RS34's, same price but more usable.
