Having recently done a significant amount of driving in both cars after our freak 2 1/2 foot late-October snowfall I can say that the Hakkas are better in heavy, wet snow, on packed, icy snow, and on dry roads. The grip of the Blizzaks is so lousy that the DST is constantly kicking in on the new car while the old one handles spirited cornering just fine.
Edit: my Blizzaks are LM-60, which are supposedly their performance winter tire.

I have the lm-25
I haven't had a chance to drive it with snow on the ground! I will give you my thoughts once it snows. I have heard great things about the Nokian Hakkapeliitta tho!
