I am of the belief that the wheels and components on a frame have a bigger influence on the feel of the bike than the frame itself. Things I think that make a bike feel very different when you change them are crank length for one. Wheel weight and stiffness are another. The tires you run and pressures you pump them to, as well, make a very noticeable difference in the feel of the ride.
Note carefully those differences between your bikes by looking at the differences in components and wheels. In there, I believe, you will find the true differences in the feel between your bikes.
Assuming the same geometry, a dragonfly will feel no different than a luna. What you get is a difference in the zoot of the material. Tubes in the dragonfly are more expensive and stronger per ounce than those in the luna. The differences in material pale in the differences of geometry of two bikes of that caliber.
Of course, if you have the cash, then buy yourself a dragonfly. Whether you bond with it or not is up to you. Is it possible, and I speculate here, that you actually have a bit of tech envy?
