I know I've got Mikuni but is there any difference in quality between these two? Would there be any point in changing to Keihin?

I've found a bank from a TBS. Do the TBS carbs differ from the T-bird carbs?
The Mikunis are noted for slide wear and wear of the needle jet which makes them less reliable over time than the Keihins.

You might want to compare the prices on new slides, needles and jets to determine whether purchasing the Keihins might be more economical than the eventual repair of the Mikunis.
