DNR syncs much faster, for me it never took more than 2 minutes or so.
Bitcoin Core is slow af, not worth it, takes 500 GB of your HDD.
I remember last year, trying to install and run Mist wallet for eth.
Took too much time and ate all my space left on HDD.

For this big networks other possibilities are better (like myetherwallet, jaxx or coinomi)
But for my dnr i prefer QT-Wallet
