So you can get both lenses new for £200
The DA lenses however are more expensive.
are they miles apart on picture quality,like price.

there is no difference other than the DA-L has a plastic mount and no fine tune focus, the DA has a metal mount and you can move the focus ring without restriction when in auto focus. glass is the same.
Edit: you can still use the DA-l in auto and manual, just if you want to fine tune in auto it feels like your working against the motor.

The two above have it right and I make a mistake with the 18-55mm there are 4 versions if you don't count the different coloured ones you can get with the K-X
DA - original
DA MKII - upgraded optic design
DA-L - same optics as the MKII but without quick-shift, metal lens mount and hood
DA WR - Weather Resistant version of the MKII and it has a different coating
