Tecate is an inland city in Baja California, 40 km east of Tijuana, and make that 55 km south-east of San Diego. Being affected by in part the surrounding desert but also the cool Pacific currents, this renders high diurnals during the mediterranean summers. Miami needs no further introduction. While significantly rainier than Tecate, the chances of receiving snow are virtually non-existent, whereas in Tecate I assume it happens every once in a while.
Sunshine hours likely see Tecate receive a bit more, being away from any coastal fog, but differences will not be as great as in areas farther inland in Baja California, Sonora and by extension, Arizona.
Needless to say my vote is for Tecate. Comfortable summer lows with lower dew points in summer, and an increased snow chance in winter, while still remaining very comfortable that time of the year. It's far from an ideal climate (C), but Miami instead only is an E+ overall due to the hurricane risk and the insane thunderstorms, as well as the endless tropical summers. Tecate simply has way more flexibility in terms of temperature, which might be a bad thing, but in this one, is rather good considering how nightmarish the warmer six months of Miami actually are.

Both are very nice, but I choose Miami. The lows are just too chilly in Tecate for me. Plus Miami has close to a hundred thunderstorm days per year - too good to pass up. Don't forget that Miami also has occasional winter cold snaps during which temps can drop far below the means, which offers a bit of variety.

How based is it? I reckon you'd find winters too warm? |

Prefer the temps of Tecate but the storms of Miami. Miami gets the vote by the narrowest of margins.

How based is it? I reckon you'd find winters too warm? Definitely, but the diurnals are nice. I wouldn't even mind 0/15. |

Tecate by far. More continental, more variable, drier, less humid. Better in every way.

I'd take Miami by a hair. Tecate's temps are better, but I can't deal with all that dryness.

You'd be surprised at how far inland the marine layer makes it. It can make it as far inland as Boulevard (a town ENE of Tecate off I-8 and near the Divide in the Peninsular Ranges), so the marine layer is what gives Tecate it's cool nights in the summer.
If they didn't get the marine air, those summer lows would be closer to 20ยฐC guaranteed
Anyways, I vote Tecate, for more sun, and dry summer and still a mild winter

Using a phone making it small to see, I mistook Tecates means for its lows. Miami bymiles then, cold summer lows can F off.

Miami. Warmer all year and no chance of snow. But both places are great though. I envy those who live there. Excellent running, swimming and cycling conditions all year.

Tecate, more continental and better summer lows. Dryness is also a plus.
