I think in the length that you are looking in it depends on the individual MH. Over 36 ft I would go with a DP. Under 34 its a toss up. One thing to keep in mind is that gas MH will have the same eng whether its a 28ft or 38 ft. DP's might have 500 hp in a 40 ft but only 300 in a 34 ft. So in general a short 362 HP gas MH that weights 15,000 lbs will have better performance than a 300 hp DP that weighs 25,000 lbs. The shorter DP's tend to have lighter front ends and many on here post that there are handling problems with some of these. Some report that 34 ft handles ok. From my searching for short DP's the only one that I found was the CC Allure or Intrigue that come with 330 HP that folks report handle well, there may be others and maybe some will post about them.
