Had a discussion with a friend regarding this. The Cherry DA3 vs. DB5 has obvious differences between them. I typically will replace a switch one at a time and install the actuator tab on the same "nub" as that was removed from. What we noticed is that sometimes it's better to move the actuator tab when going from an original DA3 to DB5 depending on the location such as an orbit lane that needs to see a fast ball.

Has anyone else noticed some differences too or has to move the tab when using the DB5 in some cases? I'm really starting to see the benefits of the DA3 more and more. Ideally getting some DA3's are the better choice as long as PL (maybe others) have them, but $6 vs $3. I guess you do get what you pay for?!

Trying to do some research and found this helpful with some gram details for different options. I'd still like to find an inexpensive spring tester to do some comparisons. Page 14 is where the actuator specs start:
