I'm pretty sure you can get an untuned TM48 pretty cheap. Under $400

Between these two carbs, I would recommend the 46HV for a stock to a stage 3 running trails and playing. The thumb pull will not hurt you after 2 or 3 hours of rideing. And it has great response all the way through the power band.

The TM48 I would recommend to the serious drag racer.

This is just my opinion, and don't want to start a flame war.

I dont believe you can run the TM48 without the twist.

The TM48 is just like the TM45. Thumb or twist will work.

Just to confuse you a little more, you could also think about the Lectron 48HV or the 50mm straight bore, although I think the 50 would take some serious intake modifications.
