They make three different ones, here is a comparison article for two of them compared to the AFV Club one:

As Robin pointed out, theres a good comparision of them against the AFV one. For the money, the AFV is supposed to be considerably better than the DML. Whatever you decide, stay as far away from the Tamiya one as possible..its horrible. :-)

DML Makes 2 kits. The earlier one 6249, had many faults. I don't know if any coorrections were made. Go with kit 6250.

www.militaryhobbies.com is a very reliable Cdn online seller. They stock the AFV Club one if you want to go that route too. Extensive "Specials" and "Clearance" pages. Worth a look.

Since you're in ON, you should try to get to the AMPS National convention in Hubbard OH. Not that bad a drive for the Ontario folks, I would think.

I've read on a couple of sites that the 6249 kit was corrected, but I do not know if anyone knows how to tell a corrected version box from the original version box.

you can go for the DML6250 kit. it comes with very fine extra like brass ammunition, two types rubber tires, PE-parts, metal barrel, figures and so on.

Here you can see a few pics of the stated kit built.
