These are two very different products...as reflected in their respective selling prices.
The DSE panel is a very well executed, fabricated sheetmetal piece and comes "blank" without any holes cut into it. You would need to prime and paint it to suit your taste. It may require minor scratch filling and fine sanding, etc, just minor finishing work in order to make it perfect for paint (this of course depends on how far you want to take it, in terms of the finished paint job, like anything else..)
The Covan panel is a vacuum molded plastic piece. It is considerably less rigid but this might not be a concern for you. The Covan panels would require no finishing, unless of course you are not satisfied with the colors of the several material options that Covan's offers (black, silver, faux carbon fiber, etc).
IMO, Each piece represents a good value at it's price point.
