*Spoiler* Was there ever talk of giving DS9 Warp engines?

I think the sci-fi world learned its lesson with Space: 1999.

Actually, I remember during the first run being very cautious about the addition of the Defiant to the show. At the time I was concerned that the addition of a starship would diminish the premise of a Trek show on a space station. Fortunately, the Defiant embodied what TV Guide referred to as the 'family motorboat" for the crew, and the station remained the central hub of the show throughout its entire run.

The problem with the station moving to me personally is the mass and inertia it has. If they can somehow negate this easily on a non federation station then it would make them quite powerful as an empire or alliance. Moving DS9 at least through the show a wee bit to the wormhole seems more plausible.
