In terms of the pivoting nozzle, liquid DACS systems are very complex, and suffer from many of the cons in regular liquid rocket motors. They, however, have more valves and components that can fail. Solid DACSs aren't matured, and very unreliable (caused about 50% of the failures in pre SM-IB tests).Nice. Obviously they were not deterred by the potential reliability issues inherent with a mechanical pivoting thrust nozzle and sensor.
