This reasoning seems a little inconsistent, when one considers the reasoning you applied to Coruna being superior to Nelson, Nelson has about the same maximums, 470 hours more sun, and 35 days less rainfall than Coruna, yet you described Coruna, as "far better"
Are you saying that rain days are more important in Amsterdam/Vancouver, but not in the case of Nelson/Coruna?
Of course he's being inconsistent, he always is if it is a Spanish or a Dutch climate

The main advantage of Coruña is the warmth.

Here is who wins each month...
January ...Vancouver 6.9 ...Amsterdam 5.8 ....Vancouver wins by over 1 degree
February...Vancouver 8.2 ....Amsterdam 6.3 ...Amsterdam is cooler than Vancouver's january!
March .....Vancouver 10.3...Amsterdam 9.6 ....Vancouver still in the lead
April........Amsterdam 13.5...Vancouver 13.2 ...Amsterdam slightly warmer
May .......Amsterdam 17.4....Vancouver 16.7....Amsterdam safely warmer
June .....Amsterdam 19.7..... Vancouver 19.6...close enough to call it a tie
July ......Vancouver 22.2.......Amsterdam 22.0...also pretty close
August...Vancouver 22.2.......Amsterdam 22.1....very close
September..Vancouver 18.9...Amsterdam 18.8....slight edge Vancouver
October....Amsterdam 14.5....Vancouver 13.5......Amsterdam wins by a full degree
November Amsterdam 9.7 .....Vancouver 9.2.....another win for Amsterdam
December Amsterdam 6.4.....Vancouver 6.3 .....pretty much a tie really
Both "win" six months each, tie breaker for me is ...higher annual sunshine hours,
warmer lows, sunnier summers and milder winters in Vancouver.
You also said that May is warmer in Vancouver (high temp-wise)
3 months with highs above 22ºC.
Quite warmer summer nights.
Much warmer winters.
Yes I get Coruña
The only real difference year round is that Coruna has warmer nights, but that comes at the expense of 470 hours less sunshine and an additional 37 days of rain.
I'm thinking that more sun and less rain days would give a greater feeling of warmth. Areas around here also have an annual minimum closer to Coruna's than Nelson's (7C July minimum) and maximums the same, with sunshine only a bit higher than Coruna's, less rain days than Coruna yet these aren't well regarded climates in this area.
I understand personal preferences, but don't see that Coruna is sufficiently warm enough to disregard the benefit of additional sunshine for creating a feeling of warmth.
Vancouver for its climate is vastly sunnier (July 289 hours). Summer climate in Amsterdam is horrible with 217 hours of sunshine in July. It gets cold at night: the 12° lows in July are among the lowest in the world for large cities (for midsummer).
This is a battle of the official stations (I guess), not about "this downtown or those outskirts are warmer" so I got Amsterdam for this reason.
Amsterdam gets more snow, is less rainy, and got less rain days. Amsterdam ! Amsterdam has also warmer highs in March, April, May, October, November and December. Summers are crappy in both places.
Since when have you liked snow?
You also play down high rainfall it occurs in a northern Spanish climate like Santander or Bilbao. Just admit that your votes are usually driven by Dutch/Spanish nationalism
