Performance difference between CEK and DEK needle?

Was just wondering what are the performance differences in these 2 needles? I have all the RB mods. The new carb came with a DEK needle and a 150 main jet. Bike has a CEK needle w/clip in 3rd pos, 40 pilot jet and a 152 main jet. Bike's head is set up for race fuel as is my KTM 300. It makes it easy for me to run the same fuel and premix in both bikes. I ride all woods, no racing or anything like that. Bike runs pretty good the way it came setup from RB, but was curious as to what the other needle (DEK) is like in performance.
Thanks for any info

My experience is the DEK is smoother and the CEK has more of hit.

I get my needles and jets from Jets-r-us. They're great to deal with.

Thanks. I looked on their site and found the needle. I'd like to support RBD, but doing business by money order was a slow process for me. I had my head and carb done by Ron and am very happy with the work, but the sales process was a real teeth pulling experience. Great guy... and I'd trust him to do any work I need done to my motor, but for something like a needle, I'd look for a more streamlined method of purchase.
Thank you for all your responses.
