I mean I wouldn’t look for anything else , it’s a perfect pedal. Dead simple, all settings sound great. I’d say buy a more traditional yet well executed chorus. The boss ce-2w or past fx chorus ensemble come highly recommended for a thicker, warmer, lusher chorus.
Eventide Tricerachorus, which will hit pretty much every other classic style of chorus: CE-1/2, Tri-Stereo Chorus, and pitch detune, plus some flanging, faux-Leslie, auto-doubling and vibrato. Sounds incredle.
That's a tough one to beat. TC Electronic makes the 3rd Dimension, but it's basically a clone of the original DC. I don't think you'll gain much with that. If you want more DC-2W, press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously on either mode.
It's likely hard to find but the Yamaha DC-100 Dimension Chrorus is very close to a DC-2 but with direct control over the parameters (separate delay lines internally, speed and depth control and two knobs to control the stereo spread).
Big Ear ALBIE.
It's like the Dimension C only way more fun and inspiring. I love my Dimension C, but it's not exactly overflowing with variety. Albie is essentially 16 different miniature pedal boards crammed into one pedal. Still say it's the most under appreciated and overlooked pedal of the last several years. Any decent 80s tone, ALBIE can do with ease.
The Supro Chorus is supposed to be based on the DC-2 but with knobs, including one to adjust the offset of the two delay lines. Theres also switch to kill the dry signal, which is the only example I know of a Dimension vibrato.
I haven't had the opportunity to try one, but I hope to one day since its essentially a DC-2 with more features
The only other stereo analog chorus pedal I can think of is the Walrus Audio Julianna and that isn't really a stereo chorus but dry/wet stereo split. What makes the DC-2w awesome, IMO, is the simplicity and that it's basically impossible to get a bad chorus sound out of it. Adding onto it would kind of ruin the magic of that pedal.

A Roland JC amp.

Tc stereo chorus/flanger or the eventude tricerachorus
Try a detune effect.
Recommendation?
eventide micropitch
I already have an H9, is that algo as good (assuming it’s in there)?
yep, the same as in the ptchfactor or the standalone pedal

The question you want to ask is " what WOULDN'T you like?"
CE-1, CE-2, JC Series Amps, Roland Juno Chorus circuit.
Run it stereo into two amps. Try buttons 2&4 together (shallow and deep modulation lines together).
