To answer the size is everything argument, I have been to a con that is too big. San Diego Comic Con is so big that you can't enjoy it. It had too much energy and I can't see myself going again. NYCC is different because it hasn't become 125,000 people, but it may be I skip next year's NYCC for size reasons.
Otakon has dealers that are worth the wait in line. They have animation cell dealers, vendors from Japan and vendors that are unique. They don't do Anime USA. Otakon has tried to stop all lines from forming, but it has caused a bigger mess for them. It is because people know the rare stuff goes on the first day. There are much less lines on Saturday and Sunday of Otakon. I don't think most anime cons have a line worth waiting for.
