My humble opinion would be, that if you are looking to gain experience at Nationals and Regionals next year as a reletively new racer to the scene the DEX might not be the best car for you to start your development on really?
Admittedly it gives me a raging hard-on everytime I see it, and Id sell my soul to have one, but you will enter each National/Regional as a minority with very very few people to bounce ideas off for setup.
Add into the equation the act that you'll be running geared diffs whereas everyone elses expereince will be from ball diffs you're setting yourself very high hurdles.
Just my opinion, for what its worth, but as much as the DEX is fecking lush and will probaly revolutionise the 4WD scene, your B44 would probably give you more chance to race and learn rather than spend all day battling to find your setups on your own?
