I'd rate V/M higher than D/W in aspects of artistic interpretation and basic skating technique (edging, power, ability to generate speed effortlessly).
D/W seem to have more of a COP style of ice dance that works well with the judges, but for me, they do not a single quality that really puts them above V/M. (I've watched both pairs since even before the last Olympic Games til now so I am familiar with both couples' work).
Just my 2 cents.
