Amenabar made a point about this in his classes too.  I don't recall  
the exact reference, but it was something like instrumentals are more  
complex because they have five parts whereas vocal has only two.   
Don't quote me, but someone may remember the exact context.

One possible theory to explain why some prefer to dance to  
instrumentals is
that it may take a little longer to appreciate and respond well to  
tangos
with the vocal element.

Personally, I find milongas without a balance of inst /
vocal boring.

I think that Australians prefer instrumental more so
too....................
