They are very different beasts, to me anyways.
They are both very substantial in girth/circumfrence. The DTBM is more of a straight handle with a generous swell for palm that locks in the hand nicely saber grip. The FBM is more designed to allow numerous grip positions and I feel it does this quite well which affords it's popularity. Choking back to chop is the real shining ability for this knife, I like both knives well in general but the DTBM may be more of an all around use choice because the handle is straight and not optimized for chopping positions.

The differences are at opposite ends of the spectrum quite simply.

Both are very comfortable handles but feel very different from each other. To me the fusion is just a pure bred chopper while the dtbm is more all purpose if that makes sense.
