Snow tire shopping

Well, it's that time of year again...my 2 year old Vredestein Quatrac 3's are toast and I'll get a credit at the store due to the rate they wore out. After last year's winter in Massachusetts no more all seasons for me and I'm going back to dedicated snow/summer tires.
Here's what I'm considering: 1) less aggressive in snow, better in dry tires like the Dunlop Winter Sport 3D or Goodyear Ultra Grip 2 or 2) just snow tires, like the Continental ExtremeWinterContact or the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R. Any opinions on these? I am leaning towards the Continental tires. I used to have a set of Nokian RSi's, the predecessor to the R, and they were fantastic but Nokian is a really pricey tire.
