Last year I have to say I enjoyed Tech Valley more than I did New York largely because with less teams, we ended up getting to play with pretty much everyone at least once, we got to see more of the teams make playoffs, and it even simplified our scouting significantly (by the end of day 1 about quals, I could rattle off some info about pretty much every team there).
I definitely think smaller events are convenient in a lot of ways even if they don't have the "shock and awe" effect of a 66-team regional.
