My experience also correlates with this, raising in Europe and from YC.
The European ecosystem is focused on well-understood business models, and is less likely to fund something disruptive and novel. It's probably epitomised by the Samwer brothers' cloning American businesses like eBay.
If you want to build a well-understood Enterprise SaaS company, I think the European ecosystem will suite you fine.
If you want to try a crazy idea, like renting out Air beds to people in your living room, you're better off in SF.
