I have owned 3W, DA, D&B , ZDZ and I have a Spanish EVO 150 that I haven't run yet. Out of all of those I liked the DLE the least. The 55 I had was a real shaker, I tried for months to get it to smoothen out. Different needle settings, timing. I ended up using the spinner backplate as a counterbalance and that helped the most. In comparison my DA 50 ran much smoother.
