They have way more bloon popping power, and if you spam 3/x's, you're just wasting a lot of money. Spam is fun, but not always effective. I actually have lots of success using dartlings in real games. Normally in BMC I use maulers or x/3 Dart monkies for early MOABs. However, if there is a particuarly nasty early ceramic rush, or im playing Camo Regrow Pain, I will get dartlings with 1/1 around a monkey village, and go to 2/1 if I run out.

Trust me, it works. The main downside is that you have to micro. But if you get a arctic wind + ice shards near the end of the track you can just focus all your dartlings on the MOABs. I don't know if you have had any success with this strat, but I have. I've beaten several early ZOMGs with it.

And anyway, you probably wont get higher than a 2/x dartling unless you're on contested territory. 3/x is good for groups of MOABs.
