DW has great economics, leaders etc with both expansions. Problem i found with DW is the automation makes it more like watching then playing, and you can't not automate or it's micromanagement city and you spend more time in pause than actually seeing things happen
But stardrive is better for everything else, the races in DW are bleh and so are the graphics.
A perfect 4x space game would blend the two nicely, if DW had a graphics update with better space and ground combat, ship design and more flavoured races it would be legendary
I think Stardrive will add leaders, more to the universe and random events, and better economics before DW will make up the difference.
In other words, Stardrive is already in better shape to be the "Legendary" 4X you speak of.
