ooo… I dunno. there are a lot of factors to consider. The Ocampa situation, the interactions with the Kazon… Sisko & Co.'s proficiency in dealing with The Caretaker and his tech…
honestly? all I know is that it would have gone very differently. possibly differently enough that the Caretaker’s Array’s dself-destruct might not have gotten damaged, or, another way, that they didn’t retrieve their crewmembers from Ocompa, or were killed by the Kazon…
One of the better episodes imo.
Would Sisko have ever been trapped in the delta quadrant?

I would like to have seen that play out, though.
