Does it really matter that much though? You're 12 episodes in and you already know the story, so restarting now just means rewatching stuff you've seen instead of finding out what happens next. Dan's opinion is Dan's opinion, the sub isn't some magic version that unlocks feelings the dub can't reach. Honestly half the people who swear by subs just watched it that way first, so that's what feels right to them. Finish the dub, and if you ever rewatch it down the road, try the sub then.
