The Deltec is FAR superior to the DAS although the DAS is good for the money. Stay away from the BX models they are junk. The EX-2 is good but the EX-3 wattage and cost wise isn't worth it.
Eagles there is more to a skimmer than the way it looks. What's important is the pump and impeller + the amount of air vs/ volume of water and the space and time it has to react in. The Deltec APF600 for example mixes TINY bubbles in a very small (relatively) space. The body is complete opaque, solid like the background of this page. You won't find that on a DAS skimmer.
Also you can control the water height on a these skimmers by use of the air tap. More air = wetter skimmate , less air= dryer skimmate. You can also add more or less water throughput as well.

The das and H&S skimmer use the same pump/pin wheel. They are 100% the same and i don't think anyone would say the H&S skimmers can't keep up with deltec.
Here is my ex-2 in action....
