DA or EJ2

DA or EJ2
I currently own a '95 Civic DX coupe. Had it for about 3 years now and modded it with the basics. It still has the d15b7 and has its share of problems. Basically, its my starter car and I've made a lot of mistakes do to my inexperience with tuning. I've grown over the years, and think I want to use my experiences to start over with a clean slate.
I've recently found a '93 DA for sale locally that's in good shape and selling for a good price.
Question is will the DA be a down grade from my current setup? I know about the OBD0 situation, but is that a big deal if I don't really plan to do swap in the future? Would a LS swap in my EJ2 be more beneficial in the long run?
Just would like to get some options so I can make a suitable decision.

i think your coupe shell is nicer then a da. A ls in your coupe is way better as well becuz ur shell is lighter as well. Your choice. But id keep the coupe, or maby a different project. Its almost 2011 why bother with such a old school looking shell?

Re: DA or EJ2
the weight of either shell doesnt matter much, its what you prefer...start a clean slate with what you have or invest your money into another car.
i have a 91' DA n i like the body style... yea its old but i have a awesome time with it. i just started restoring it n it been easy on my wallet. if you like ur civic keep it n start ur project.
