Short answer: the Sonos Move 2 for better sound quality, the Dockin D Fine for the lower price. The Sonos Move 2 ranks #25 of 77 large speakers at $399. The Dockin D Fine ranks #34 at $110, $289 cheaper.
The case for the Sonos Move 2: It sounds warm with somewhat rolled off treble, and has slightly better midrange clarity than the original Move. The catch: it isn’t very loud, and may share the same full-volume issues the Move 1 had, though that still needs more sound samples to confirm.
What the Dockin D Fine gets right: It doubles as a power bank. Set against that: its bass is slightly boosted.
Buy the Sonos Move 2 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Dockin D Fine if the price matters more than sound quality.
If battery life is a priority, the Sonos Move 2 is rated for 24 hours versus 10 hours for the Dockin D Fine.

The Two Speakers In Full
Sonos Move 2: $399.00 Amazon
Pros: Warm sounding with somewhat rolled off treble. Slightly better midrange clarity than the Move 1.
Cons: Not very loud. This may have some of the same issues at full volume that the Move 1 had too, but I’ll need more sound samples at full volume to verify.
