DAS $0 or pay upfront fees

In the past 8-9 years of leases, I always paid first-month payment, Doc, DMV, and taxes on rebates/incentives up front to keep the monthly installment low.

Now the new dealer I’m working with does DAS $0 to roll everything including first-month payment in cap cost and my first installment due is from Feb (next month) which makes my monthly installment significantly higher.

Which one is the prefer? Would like to know the pros and cons. To go with DAS $0 or pay upfront fees to keep monthly installment low? Thanks a lot for the advice.

This is just an example:
Drive-Off: $1,548

First Month Payment: $765
Down Payment: $0
Upfront Fees: $515
Upfront Taxes: $268

With DAS$0 - monthly $860
