One other difference is price. The Ninja 250 is very common and older models can be found cheap. The DRZ is much less common and can be hard to find at a good price. Combine that with a 50% premium on list price for the DRZ and you will likely pay much more to get the SM.
However I also really like the DRZ and it was on my short list, price ended up being the deciding factor for me. Its tall for the average rider but if your tall then it fits better.
