Why the accepted shares are fewer then EWBF's, even though the hashrate is bigger?

My OC settings are not so high, just core +100, power 85, temp 83, mem 0, on 6 GTX 1060 3GB hynix. Core stays under 2000MHz.
My hashrate is around 1800 with DSTM and around 1700 with EWBF. The ping time 63ms, on ZEC-flypool and ZCL-suprnova.
In EWBF I don't get rejected shares aven after 24h, no crashes, and constant acceped shares, around 5 per minute.
In DSTM I see from time to time a rejected, but the main problem is that there are very few accepted shares, like 1-2 per minute.
Why is that? I can't compare the profits because they varry from day to day. I should have 2 rigs with the same setup, but I only have 1 with cards from 3 brands.

You can't compare share counts/frequency from the miner itself. Depending on a variety of factors (mostly the speed at which you send shares to the pool), the pool will increase the difficulty for your connected miner. Increased difficulty means you find fewer shares, BUT the shares you do find are 'worth more' to the pool (because they were more difficult to find). The overall value of the shares you submit ought to be the same, and the payout the same in those circumstances.

If a miner is better at finding solutions (like dstm is, compared to ewbf), its difficulty will be raised such that it submits fewer shares (lowering the networking requirements) - I'd say this is why when visually comparing ewbf to dstm, you'll see fewer shares being submitted by dstm.
