You will get a few of the "missing bits? in the STK500 box anyway :) apart from the USB cable which you will need to get. Having the STK500 you will not really need to use the Dragon's zif socket, I have installed one but never used it. In other words use the sockets on the STK500 to build your project and use the Dragon for DW or JTAG debugging only, well may be you can use it also as a programmer as well as the STK500.
