I'd place DR at about the same difficulty level as Emerald Extreme, but where EmEX gave both a mount and semi-casual players' BiS weapons, DR gives some zhuzhed up Exarchic gear and an extremely rare chance at other rewards.
Honestly, I've seen the 'rare' drops of one form or another in Delubrum more often than I have seen the mount drop in EmEx. I have won the hairstyle and three orchestrion rolls in Delubrum; I've seen the mount drop once in EmEx. Total.

(I rolled a 97. Someone else won it with a 98. I'm not salty, noooo, why do you ask?)

Doesn't meant the drop rate is good, mind you, but I'm not sure contrasting it with EmEx and saying EmEx has better loot tables is the direction I'd go with this one.
