Allan Robertson: All four multiplexes that Redmoss transmits, BBC National, D1 National, SDL National and Aberdeen local, are 1.2kW. All transmissions have the same aerial height and radiation pattern, so they are from the same antennas. They are directional, in the direction of Aberdeen and its suburbs.
Balgownie carries just the BBC National DAB multiplex at 300W.
Your next-closest DAB transmitter is Durris. It broadcasts the Aberdeen local multiplex at 2kW, and the BBC National and D1 National both at 10kW each.
The only SDL transmitter is Redmoss. In fact, Redmoss is the north-most SDL transmitter in the country.

John Terry: In answer to the question of whether there may be coverage improvements for Smooth, then I do not know. There are two "Smooth" stations available in Kent: "Smooth UK" on the Digital One national commercial multiplex on 11D and "Smooth Kent" on the Kent local multiplex on 11C.
