I have no experience with DXP but I can recommend the move from v3 to 99se.
I have found 99se +sp6 running on win 2k is extremely stable and the db system is very useful to us. Conversely I had no end of trouble with v3. Most of our boards are double or 4 layer at most and easily manually routed. We have yet to find a reason to upgrade to DXP. I had no trouble at all moving from v3 to 99se. Importing many hundreds of separate PCB and SCH files into their respective databases took me an afternoon. I can't remember having any problems converting our footprint and SCH parts libraries. I recommend you give the trial 99se disk with service pack 6 a good workout, I guarantee you won't look back.
