DXWatch vs QRZ DX Cluster - which do you prefer?

I've been comparing different DX cluster websites and can't decide between DXWatch and QRZ's DX Cluster for my main spotting source.

DXWatch seems to have better filtering and the map view is nice, but QRZ integrates so well with their callbook lookups. The QRZ interface feels a bit dated though.

What's everyone's experience? Are there other cluster sites I should consider? I mainly chase DX on 20m and 15m.

    I use DXWatch as my primary - the filtering is excellent and I love being able to set up custom views for different bands. The widget feature is handy too for embedding in other apps.

    QRZ all the way here. Yes the interface is older but it's rock solid and fast. Plus when I click a callsign I instantly get their QRZ page with QSL info, which saves tons of time during contests.

    Have you tried DX Summit? It's been my go-to for years. Really fast updates and the historical spot search is incredibly useful. The mobile version works great too. Worth checking out alongside the others you mentioned.
