Default Weyermann Dark Wheat Malt

I'm thinking of using some Weyermann Dark Wheat Malt in some upcoming brews (a couple of saisons and APAs for spring). I'm assuming that it is to regular wheat malt what Munich malt is to Pilsner, but would like some feedback from people who have used it before. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Be aware that Dark Wheat grain has very little diastatic power. It can't be used as a drop-in replacement for White or Red Wheat. Something to keep in mind when crafting your recipe.

It's got enough to convert itself so it's not that bad!

According to the Malt info from the HBT Wiki, Dark Wheat only has a diastatic power of 10 degrees Lintner:

Wheat Malt - Home Brewing Wiki

Is there information on Weyermann's website that contradicts the Wiki info? If so, perhaps the Wiki should be updated.
