GXP vs DUB

I want to fit 170mm cranks and I've ended up with 2 sets. I first bought a DUB NX set with the view to going to DUB. But then I picked up a set of new GX GXP cranks. The Current BB is GXP and quite new so doesn't need replacing. I was just going to fit them and sell the NX set and DUB BB I have for them. But now I'm wondering if I should actually go the other way round. Is DUB that much of an improvement over GXP?

But that's why I've come to the people that really know.....
I’ve fitted DUB to a couple of kids bikes. Can’t comment on the durability, but it was easy enough to set up. GXP can be a pain with the spacing at times, and the bottom brackets can be hit and miss. I certainly won’t be dumping my numerous GXP sets for dub, but also won’t knock back sets for future bikes.

Yep, I'll move the NX. Both owe me the same but with the GX I just pop the old set off and slide the new set in. Easy.
