"Better" is in the eyes of the beholder. I own several Dan Wesson revolvers and several Smith & Wesson revolvers in multiple calibers and like them all for various reasons. I love being able to swap out barrel lengths and set headspace myself with my Dan's, but Smith blueing is far better on average. The only Dan revolver now being made is a model 715 (stainless .357 mag) by CZ USA and will cost you $1K. There are always plenty of the older Dan's on Gunbroker, but prices have risen as of late.
