There's more than mantas to Komodo. you can also spot mantas on Makasar reef in August in that respect it is then equal...I guess I was lucky with the weather then to see several mantas in Manta Alley then.
but if weather is not on your side, you won't be able to access further south than Padar in august nor up north to Castle in Feb. Plus you may have problems to find a liveaboard plying South Komodo in July/August, while many are scheduling South in Feb..
