I have owned a Tetra Pro for two years now. I don't own a Dragonfly but was considering one when I purchased my Tetra Pro (the wait list was forming - not yet available though). In the end the significant extra cost made me choose the Tetra. I haven't wished I had bought the DFly once since then - and I do have the type of personality that, when I "compromise", is always wondering "what if".
In all honesty, there have been more than a few moments when I thought that I could have been just as happy with a Luna. Now, I don't doubt that for some/all the ride of a DFly is nicer than the Tetra. I'm just sharing my experience. What really gets me is that my Tetra is a great riding, beautiful bike and the .5 pound I would have saved with the DFly would make no practical difference in my rides or races. Going through a couple years of training/racing taught me that my training, diet and sleep routines have an infinitely larger impact on how fast I am - thus the thought that I would have been just as happy on a Luna as all three are apparently similar in ride (the Luna and Tetra moresoe I've heard) and great bicycles.
