We are having the same discussions, and a lot of the developers seem to lean towards angular, simply because of that momentum that you mentioned.

This is a key point that I keep running into. It seems that more complicated applications can benefit from Ember's very opinionated nature and more backbone-like structure...
I could be totally off base, as I've not created a large-scale app in either of these frameworks (yet).
We have a very complex Ember app, the discussion we have is largely around whether we've made the right choice.
My personal view is that we could get rid of every single problem we have with Ember if we replaced it with Angular... And instead have a whole new set of Angular problems.
