Go on some demo rides or rent some and take at least a day and get really familiar on both. It really just depends on the rider as we have seen about some like the Nytro better some like the Dragon better is all in the rider preference.
how does nytro handle compared to dragon

I own an 08 nytro mcx some lightweight goodies a 162x16 track,and rode my buddies 09 D800 163 in the hills,Ihate to say it but the D8 outhandles My Nytro.You have to commit to moving the Nytro where the dragon seemed almost effortless boondocking.Climbing the Nytro handled awesome,it has a baker skid and the nose stayed about a foot off the snow climbing hard.The D8 was loose going up the hill stood straight up(shock issue I think).
So imo it depends where and how you ride! if you wanna see the top of the hill t-nytro,if you wanna play in the bowls,sidehill,and play in the trees I would stay D8.

I own a T Nytro and have a little seat time on a D8 155 and an Assault. Snow conditions were epic. I was impressed with way the Poos "float" on the powder, how it jumped and deep powder performance. I was not impressed with it's ability to "lay over" and hold a turn. Most likely that is because i am really used to my nytro.

ditto that for me...have a dragon with 0 miles on it this year...could not get used to the stance, and the running boards...However, My bro in laws new 09 M8...completely agree with Sunridge, as it being the easiest to handle....
