Understandable, for me. Aster15 is the super-high-G maneuver missile, stressing good terminal maneuver. CAMM is more focused on initial maneuver and short "shortest range" with a "single pulse motor". CAMM-ER, on the other hand, has a dual-pulse motor, which may improve its terminal maneuver and/or range (the same applies for VL MICA-2). But, even CAMM-ER lacks side-thruster adding tens of side-way Gs, which makes Aster SAM special. This is my understanding.

Price. Italy will upgrade 125 out of 200 Ariete tanks and Leo 2A7/A8 are to cover for lost tanks. But also Italy is planing to replace Ariete, and eventually Leo 2A7/A8 tanks, with MGCS from 2035-2040. So Leopards are just an interim solution till MGCS arrive.
