Decided to make a new BP video to compare these two bats. I've been loving the DC41 RI all season and have barely swung the Legit. I purchased the Legit because they were $99 and never really gave it much use since it felt similar to the DC already.
The results were way closer than I expected considering in the few BP sessions I have hit both bats, I found that the DC was better than the Legit.

Fields are about 325' with 16' back fences. I started on Mission 5 which faces east. There was a slight breeze, barely enough to rustle leaves, but the microphone on the camera (Canon SL1) picked it up bad. I decided to move to Mission 6 which faces south to rule out the wind assisting my hits. Balls were a mix of grey dots, hot dots, NSA 44 cores and evil BP's.

Verdict:
I was surprised how similar the two bats sounded in the video. I would have a hard time saying one bat is really much different from the other based on how they feel through the zone and performance.
Originally, I found that there was less feel on contact with the DC41 compared to the Legit, but that seemed to vary by the type of ball hit.
I think the DC opened up faster than the legit, hence why it had more hits on it at the time of the BP session.
I wouldn't hesitate to pick up either bat honestly. I would say that the DC at $199 (CAD) is a great purchase, but for $99 (CAD) that legit was an absolute steal.
I also noticed that compared to many of the other BP vids posted here, i hold my bat way flatter during my windup. A lot of guys seem to hold the bat almost standing straight up.
