I want a gunboat, and the Jager seems the logical choice.
If i sell my k2 (which i hate) i can 'just' afford the S variant. The DD is 3,000,000 more.... Is it worth it? The only advantage i can see is 6 ballistic slots instead of 4.
I want a proper lolworthy trollmech, but i cant be bothered saving up 3 mil unless it's really going to be worth it.

The 6S is more flexible.
The DD is more dakka, and comes pre-loaded with some expensive goodies (and then some expensive crap - Ferro Fibrous.)
For a true "gunboat" the DD is a go-to, but the only thing it can do that the 6S can't is the 5x or 6x AC/2 builds, which are fun, but not all that effective for most.
For non-lulz fits, I'd recommend the 6S. Easier to pair AC's with PPC's or LL, etc.

With the S you can do dual guass or quad ppcs. Cheaper and more versatile. The only thing you can't do with the S that you can do with the DD is the 6 AC-2 build which imo isn't worth it.

lol the 6 x AC2 is truly a troll build and difficult to use. So better go for the S variant not the DD. Though I did get the DD just for fun LOL.

S is a better mech.
The DD is a monster to fit, you can use the gimmik "Moar dakka" builds but they aren't that great.
The S allows energy backup as well with its 4 energy slot and two ballistic arms.

No love for the DD? Kidding aside, it can be difficult and at times frustrating wielding 5+ ACs. You are the loudest thing on the battlefield and will be focus fired like a mob of angry hornets. You run hot too, which can be mitigated somewhat but you will be slow with moderate to low armor. But if you can hang back and pick the right time to open up, it truly is fun as all heck. The S variant is pretty fun too though. 4 ACs is nothing to sneeze at -- the extra laser hardpoints gives you more options too.
