I'm thinking about abandoning the K1 process at a quite late stage - NVC forwarded file to consulate. We waited so long for the NOA2 that I became eligible for DCF while spending time with my fiancee. The DCF looks to me like a much better option even at this stage ... 3 months to green card instead of another year to green card via K1.

Am I missing something? Are there any disadvantages of this move?

Petition forwarded to consulate? Wait it out man. You're so close...

But the OP is not actually so close to the GC because after moving to the US there is AOS.

OP: What country are you in? Are you sure DCF is still there? How are you able to be in that country legally?

AOS for my husband
8/17/10: INTERVIEW DAY (day 123) APPROVED!!

ROC:
5/23/12: Sent out package
2/06/13: APPROVED!

Yes, DCF is still there. I contacted them and clarified. I'm dual citizen. After having seen how unpredictable and frustrating the K1 process is I am really not looking forward to AOS.
