I've read all of Salvatore's drow/drizzt books.
It's a shame that DE have such poor starting stats, the lack of stamina I could live with but having to fight being encumbered while wearing plate isn't fun. At high end gear levels this is a non-issue, but you spend a lot of time leveling prior to this. On the flip side, being able to dungeons and not needing a shrink is enticing.
DE looks so much better in plate though, especially with Velious graphic. Leveling 15-20% faster is also pretty enticing.
Intelligence low or high is a non-issue. At level 1 my ogre sk has nearly 120 int with the sentient suit of armor - and I put no int into him at creation. That same suit on a dark elf would be pretty funny, he'd have higher int than most casters for a big part of his career.
