I've done the Dean (quite a similar route) and Severn Across (old name for LWL) loads of times and did the Dawdle in 2019.
I liked the Dawdle but largely because it was new roads - I'm kind of tired of the Forest of Dean / Chepstow / Malmesbury loop as done it so many times.
The Dawdle is a funny ride: the first half is hilly and the second half is flat.
If you haven't done either before, SA / LWL is an epic route: Chilterns, Cotswolds, a bit of Wales, climbing back over the spine of southern England and racing against the setting sun, while the DD is just a big loop.
