Test drives! No amount of reading will substitute for that. DP will in general be better handling than gas, but longer wheelbase vs shorter is still a real issue. Our 35' DP handles decently, but has less directional stability than longer ones.
My old one handled fine with no wind or big trucks around it. I would need to duplicate those conditions to know if it is an upgrade as far as handling is concerned. The old one would get really squirrely when following or overtaking a truck at freeway speeds or when they passed me it would suck it right over towards the truck in the case of a truck passing and then blow you over the other direction after going by. I am not talking a little bit either and I have driven some worn out trucks with lots of play in the steering this was different than that. It tracked straight down the road with no wind or trucks around.
