Can someone go into details about the differences between the Torch and the Dragon? Thanks.

As you might have heard, the Dragon is the updated version of the Torch. But from my personal experience, the Dragon has a much silkier/softer feel than the Torch, and doesn't feel as stiff (possibly due to the silky softness, perhaps?). The Dragon feels a bit thinner than the Torch, but I could be mistaken. The Torch has velcro wrist closures, while the Dragon has an inner cuff with thumb loops instead. There's more information in the question/answer section of the Dragon page.
