Mostly, though, it's the characters. SL-9 has several more characters and they're the most fascinating and likable ones in the game, imo. DL-6 has...well, it pretty much focuses on Edgey, who I love and all but. Besides him, there's von Karma and Yogi and...that's it, really. SL-9 was much more complex character-wise and story-wise. It was also more complex case-wise. DL-6 wasn't as fun to solve because all of the surprising revelations were things that Phoenix seemed to pull out of a hat, but when it came to present evidence the answer was pretty clear. If that made any sense. SL-9 was much more fun. Gant was the most satisfying villain to crack. There were several testimonies instead of just one like in DL-6, and figuring out the puzzle was much more rewarding than with DL-6, I thought. The last trial day of case 5 was my favorite trial day in the entire series, and the ending was just gorgeous.

Aside from 2-2 and 2-4, it's the only case to get a real physical reaction from me; lots of "Oh my God!"s and a very loud "METAL DETECTOR!" at the end :D
Not to say that SL9 isn't wonderful, too; my favorite aspect was getting to use forensics - I just adored that, and lots of the characters were wonderful, memorable and managed to avoid being completely annoying and repetitive.
Though I'll say this (and hope that Zephyr doesn't hate me forever afterwards): it took me a long time to grow attached to Ema. She seemed to be a near carbon-copy of Maya with pink glasses and a penchant for beginning every sentence with "Scientifically speaking...". I had grown to love her by the end, but I missed Maya terribly and just felt like Ema was a shamepless replacement/plot device for the first part. I love Lana's character design to bits, and her motive for everything at the end, but she annoyed me a lot at the beginning as well.
Actually, I think that's my problem with SL9. It takes a while to get into and meet a lot of the really good characters or see a likable side to others that were previously annoying. Once the ball starts rolling, it's awesome, but the first bits just take too long to get though, I felt. But, like Zephyr said, the conclusion is absolutely wonderful and heartwarming and <3.

It felt more epic, and I just thought it was a darker story with a more traumatic after-effect.

The whole story was messed up, everyone was killing people, lying and stealing. It was crazy! Plus SL-9 gave us Gant, no question to me who's better.

Though they are both dark and twisty and SL-9 has the adoreable
, I simply cannot stand Ema. (If she says "Scientifically speaking," one more time...) To be honest the person I felt the most sympathy for in the case was Joe Darke even if he was a serial killer. And it felt like the DL-6 had a more hopeful ending as well as the adoreable
. Umm...Skye sister fans might not want to read this...

SL9 definitely had stronger characters (Ema, Lana, Angel, Marshall, Meekins, Gant...) but the story wasn't nearly as involving or deep.

If I hear SL-9's music again I'll kill someone.
DL-6 was nothing but a minor murder and framing. Unremarkable compared to most cases. SL-9 was more complicated
Although Von karma is awesome as all hell near the end of the case when you find the truth. I mean in the archives.

Seriously though, I hate Rise From The Ashes. SL-9 really wasn't that great IMO.
DL-6 was a lot more emotional and deep. And, well,

Not to mention I don't understand how Darke was so hard to convict anyway. Wasn't the first person he murdered killed in a car crash? It's not THAT hard to prove a crash given paint transfer and, come on, the car having been involved in a crash. And yet there were like 20 detectives involved who weren't able to find anything. Meanwhile, every other case in the games Gumshoe pretty much handles on his own, and has no problem providing the prosecution with enough evidence to go to trial.
Jake, Angel, Goodman, Gant, and Lana, all on one case, couldn't find/fudge enough evidence to nail Darke on even one of his poorly planned and hastily executed murders. I'm glad half of them got fired and reassigned.
DL-6 was tied emotionally to every major character in the first game. It was meant to be the connecting point, the overall mystery that tied the game together. In many ways DL-6 is the foundation of the series, with how it ties Phoenix, Edgeworth, and the Feys. Plus it was just bizarre enough without going totally overboard. And that's why I like DL-6 <3

Also, I think that DL-6 was great character building for edgeworth, and filled with all sorts of controversies without going beyond believable like SL-9 did.

Couple Reasons:
1. It has Lana.
2. I believe it's a bit more emotionally charged than DL.
3. It's more recent, so the drama is thicker, and the wounds are still open.
4. It doesn't involve Von Karma.

You know...I've been thinking about this, and I've come up with an explanation though it's a HUGE stretch and probably not very likely in the least.
I'm starting to think that Joe Darke really didn't kill anyone.
Insane? Yes, if he turned himself in anyway and then ran. Dangerous? Yes, if he almost killed Ema.
But he killed five or so people without leaving ANY evidence in a situation where evidence should have been abundant? That's just too hard to swallow.

I think Joe Dark qulifies for De'Killer status if he really could comit FOUR spur of the moment murders without leaving any evidance. Reminds me of that moive "The Killer Must Kill Again".

It's nice and all, but you never actually solve the murder.
All you prove [spoiler]Gant[/spoiler] did was SL-9.
The murder of Goodman is just admitted or something.

I'm pretty sure Phoenix figured out Gant murdered Goodman, too.

I pretty much judge cases based on what would happen if the case never happened at all
which is nothing compared to...
I must've missed a lot, but you get the point. DL-6 far surpasses SL-9 in signifigance as it pretty much is the whole reason we have this PW/GS universe in the first place
(There's also effects on GS4, but those spoilers don't belong here)
Edit: 'effects', not 'affects'. Stupid grammar
