Default FM vs DM

Well I just got my first DM models.I got the dark green 68 vert and the sliver 70 LT1 coupeI'm thinking that the DM mint has quite a bit more detail than my FM,however I think the FM bodies are a little more realistic.I like the way the DM headlights work and the engine and interior details are vastly superior to the FM.Also the doors on the DM open like the real thing.they even have the hood prop rod like the real thing.I also just noticed the battery compartment opens and there is a real nice delco battery.Just want to know what everybody else thinks.

I did notice that the FM ones are quite a bit heavier than the Danbury ones. Otherwise, I think the DM's have a lot more detail than FM. Some of them even have retracting antennas.
