Question diablo,s vs dragon,s

ok people, i know this has probably been discussed to death but here goes, if your running sc1 sc2 dragons compared with sc1 sc2 diablo,s is the difference if any, really worth the extra cost of the diablos?
i have found a supplier who can offer the dragons for £230 plus p&p
i am on a serious budget as usual so the cost saving over the year against the diablo,s is substantial.
i used the diablo,s last year and loved them, but i,ve never used the dragons.
Any thoughts?
Steve

Having raced on both I actually found the Sv suited the dragons more than the Diablos. The prvison on that statement was that they were both scrubs and the bike was a curvy.

I'm going out of Dragons this weekend at East Fortune... and if they're good enough for Dave Bell to break the minitwin (tuned) lap record there and also wipe the floor with all-comers on an ER6N at Scarborough, they're good enough for me

I hear Dave is still on the ER this year and not moving to the 600's as he thought he might.......

Now we know Dave's bike is quick, so whats Farquar got going on in his engine?!

He claims its std in the mags! Leaving Dave out of Mere up the hill and from the monument down to the top hairpin, I don't think so!

The last time I was speaking to the lads in Honda Newcastle it looked like he'd be on the 600.
