SNIP The real advantage to a DT is that because it has less weight up
front you
can make more delicate (read - less splashy) casts when presenting dries
at
a distance. You won't be doing that for the first year or two probably, so
go with the WF and have some fun!

There is no difference between the front tapers of most DT and WF lines.
The term WF ( weight forward) is in any case a misnomer. A WF line is
merely a shooting head with integrated running line.
As there is no difference, there are no special advantages to either at
close range. For longer range casting, a WF can be useful. But I canīt
imagine anybody "presenting" dry flies at a distance which would make a WF
line necessary.
