I think the pants are 100% polyester, not poly wool, and thus not as heavy. I thought they might wrinkle easy, but I just hung them up right out of the dryer, and they held their crease well, and didn't wrinkle or pucker.
I've been at district, and state meetings with the major vendors, and really never noticed any difference in shirts. Many people just use Honig's because they have easy access, and fast shipping. The guy I bought from was close by. Just easy to go by, and shop from.
Personally, I think you're doing Dalco a disservice by bashing them in public. Let the user decide what they want. I do remember several going gaga over the "cheap" shirts from Officials Choice. Several "Jeckyl and Hyde" comments ensued.

I think that officials posting their opinions of vendor products is one of the reasons a forum like this one exists.
Unless Dalco has changed their shirts, I'd steer clear of them -- when I got one a few years ago at a tournament, it was as heavy as the original Cliff Keen pullover shirts. CK has improved since then, however.
