I think the etc split was the right move. The chain shouldn't be forked to fix a bad investment. Going forward the dash model seems to offer a nice way to fund the miners a foundation and daps. Perhaps the dash model 45 -45- 10 alone would be enough to differentiate from Eth.

1. Lower cost
2. more funding for daps
3. no do overs
   seems to be sufficient differntiating features for a crypto coin. Good luck!
