Is a Dato an upgrade from an 1815 or a matter of taste and preference?
It probably depends on whom you're asking. I had a Dato and didn't like it because of the complexity of the dial and the fact that I didn't think the big date was necessary on the Chrono.

That's actually an interesting question!
What does everyone here think, is the Datograph an upgrade from the 1815? Yea or Nay? I've always viewed the 1815 as a Datograph sans big date. And cause of this view, I guess I would consider them on the same playing field. If Lange made the 1815 Chrono ...
I don't consider 1815 CHR to Dato an upgrade....
I feel that they are both different design sharing a same movement. I was very close in getting a 1815 CHR but didn't due to several factors. Dato , to me, is the first and it is purer. It's Big Date is a unique Lange signature and I truly love it. It's s...
