Yeah, Edward Bess himself has stated before that his bronzer isn't meant for contouring. I use it strictly as bronzer. Chanel's Bronze Universal (Soleil Tan de Chanel) is the same, I use it as bronzer because it's too warm-toned to be a convincing contour color for my skin. As far as the difference between the two, Daydream looks very natural on me (NC20-25), whereas the Chanel can look fake and a little too yellow/orange when I'm pale. When I'm a bit tanned up though, Bronze Universel looks amazing, just totally enhances a tan.
But as I said, I don't use (and wouldn't recommend using) either of these products in the hopes that they'll be great contours. For contouring, I like something like MAC Strada or Emote, or one of the Sculpt powders. Slightly more neutral browns, not too dark and not so neutral that they're totally muddy.
