I did the Khaba grind after the Coal-move was announced. Every single one of those ships wants RANGE, usually about 15km of it.
I can say they are zippy enough to shell juke and are quite enjoyable in that sense. Beware though, they can NOT fight other DDs.

In my experience, it comes down to shells landing.
While out-trading a poor-accuracy DD is definitely in the cards if that situation presents, I went more with a general statement as folks might dip their toe into a 6-7km DD fight and be surprised in how monumentally unpleasant a result they will receive.
If the Enemy DD is actually scoring hits on you at nearly the same rate as you're hitting them, the Khaba line feels like it's constantly losing due to poor DPM.
