Now that everyone and their uncle moved from SVO to DME - guess where all the crowds are now... If you don't have to transfer between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at SVO (incidentally, there are plenty of busses and sared taxiis between the two) I think you'd better use SVO as passport control takes some 5-20 minutes as opposed to massive waits at DME. Another pproblem with SVO used to be getting to the city but there's now a reasonably fast train (35 min).
