Which magnetic charging dock I need?

Hello, I'm new here, but I'm not new using Sony devices.

I need some help about magnetic charging docks. I hope somebody can help me, thanks.

I have an Xperia Z1 tablet, and two months ago that I bought the Xperia Z3 Compact phone. I'v been searching which is the best dock to use with both devices, but I'm not sure at all. It seems that DK39 is the best option but maybe I'm wrong and there isn't any dock to use with both of them.

Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong? Or Is DK39 OK?

Thanks for help me.

You can use the same dock, there's one problem, that since the Z3 it's thinner than the Z1, the Z3 won't align properly, unless you add something to make it fit. An alternative is buying:

1. each dock 

2. a magnetic cable 

3. magnetic adapter 

4. take apart the dock and use Sony's magnetic cable

WOW WOW!!!! SO FAST!!!!

The alternatives are good, but there aren't what I need, but thanks.
Well, I understand that I can use DK39 with Xperia Z1 Tablet and Z3 Compact phone then.

Thank you very much. I'll tell something when I get it.

I am using the DK48 that it's designed for the Z3 series and it works good, I found included also the adapters to connect it if you use the SCR26 Smart Cover.

I got the Magnector X2 adapter (new model) from Amazon and the guys sent me extra ones (old model) without charge and I've been quite happy with it... Recently my uncle got a 3D printer and I made a dock for the old version adapter and made it so it can fit my Z3c with a case... I can happily share my 3D design files with you, so you can print it locally, and make some modifications if you want to use it without a case... Have a look:

Awesome!! Nice design!! but I don't have any 3D printer and I don't have any place to print it in my town. But feel free to share it. Maybe, some day, I'll be able to print it.

Now, my main concern is that the dock can hold the weight of a Z1 tablet. I think that DK39 can do it, but  can DK48 do it too? Or is it only for phones?

Thank you guys for your help!! ;D
