I can't make 'value judgements' because I only attended Concorso Italiano.  
 I can give some raw statistics from which much can be inferred however.

Concorso Italiano had about 40 De Tomaso cars, including the Elvis Pantera, 
a Longchamp GTS and two Mangustas.   La Dolce Vita had four (4) Panteras.

CI had hundreds and hundreds of Ferraris.   LDV had nine (9).

Overall, CI had upwards of 1000 cars, and LDV had about 100-150.   Having 
said that, the two people I spoke with who chose to go to LDV had a good time 
and said it was a very nice, low-key show.   It certainly wasn't 'bad' in 
any respects.

It will be quite interesting to see if LDV returns next year or not?
