44DA or DB

As others have said, it’s all about how you want to use the boat.
I’ve always looked at it as Bridge boats are more practical at the dock and express boats work better for me when I pull away from the dock.
I like the lines on the bridge boats and they can’t be beat for sleeping spaces and natural light from the big windows.
But we tend to do more days on the water with multiple guests so the large cockpit on the express style works much better for us.
I had a bridge boat many years ago and often found myself grudgingly playing chauffeur while most others were down below in the cockpit.
We’ve got plenty of sleeping space on our Sundancer for our needs. But if you have a larger family and you regularly spend overnights on the boat then a bridge boat may be a better choice.

+1 on being the chauffeur on a bridge boat.
Happened lots of times with me when I had our 30’ Sedan Bridge.
 
Zach, we are still loving your 47DB! Put about 300 hours on it in 15 months with no major problems. It's in the yard right now getting a bottom job and having the props balance and re-pitched. Thanks for selling us a fully upgraded and turnkey boat... well, with the exception of an autopilot. :)
