Will this (and do DSA caps in general) keep their aftermarket value as much as SA keysets? Thinking of joining as I like the colourway but not sure I'll like DSA profile.

DogeAmazeDSA looks really well with taller 60% profile cases, as they can look unbalanced and be uncomfortable to type on using tall SA or OEM profiles. With growing 60/75% popularity, good DSA and XDA kits are becoming more sought after. They are also nice if you are into lighter actuations weights, which can become a bit mushy, with big SA double shots - imho.

consolationFor flat and slim cases (e.g. Winkeyless, VE.A), do you think taller and more sculptured keycaps are more suitable than uniform low-profile DSA/XDA/G20?

DogeAmazeI've only used a flat case once, and found that while it worked well with sculptured SA (1-2-3-4-4), it was really awkward with "flat" (all r3) SA; you need a bit of an angle with those, which you could create with feet (I didn't have any on hand) - ended putting in an OEM set, and that worked well enough.
It really varies from person to person, but, consider what you are trying to achieve; a board that needs to slip into a laptop bag, and get thrown around, will have different constraints from one you are going to keep on your desk with a wrist rest. I know it sounds obvious, but, until you experience a variety of use cases, it's easy to be rather myopic. It seemed to me that SA was the bees' knees, until I regularly needed to chuck a board in a laptop bag; on arrival there would be an exciting game of hide and seek, in the bag detritus, with a missing key.
That's what made me try a DSA set; I found it to be really forgiving for layouts / plate angle, and, rather relaxing to type on - especially in situations when I wouldn't be sitting in the optimal position with all fingers on the home row, it was also very nice for gaming. I know that we are in the middle of the SA "tulip craze" at the moment, it's easy to get caught up in the rampant fanboyism, however, I'd encourage people to give DSA a try if you haven't yet - I think it'll surprise you.
As always, this is just my 2c, and YMMV...
