I've only played one CG151S but it was quite nice, as responsive and balanced (i.e. plenty of treble, not too much bass) as any guitar I've tried in the price range. If you have your eye on a particular '151 somewhere I'd suggest trying it and seeing if you like it. They're nicely built for a mid-level instrument. I've also played a couple of the Flamenco '171 models and one of the two was extremely nice to play.
I've not played a Concert but the other La Patrie nylon string models I have seen were not as responsive as I'd prefer. Very comfy to play with the radiused fretboard and rather slender proportions and not bad sounding, just on the quiet side for my taste. Someone most used to steel-string guitar looking for a "nylon string" rather than a purely classical guitar might very well find a La Patrie more playable.
So try both! The usual not entirely helpful advice I guess...
