Only advantage of he DM is you can load it once, and it stays that way for the next 6 weeks and it is easy to carry a second DM rather than loose spare shells.
Have always bought at least one spare mag, usually 2, for every detachable I own, in 50 years, have never lost a single mag, but have made some REALLY good money selling the spare to guys that did. Think $300 for a Browning BLR mag that I bought for 20 with the gun or $425 for a Bruno mag.

About the least space efficient way of packing amo is in a DM. Being a guy who likes to carry minimal gear in as small of a pack as possible, even when I have a detatchable mag firearm I generally don't carry spare rounds in another mag.
