Yes, and the fact that many of the US Warbird owners as well as well known pilots couldn't resist the lure of flying a warbird at Legends, not just because of the air display, but the fact that it was held at a historic base used by USAAF units during WW2, and that now houses the AAM.
I suspect that, many of them won't be so bothered about dipping into their wallets to take part in a new show that is to be held at a venue without those historic to them connections.
And that's why, when people mention the likes of Sywell and Old Warden etc as venues, or even some others, the lack of a historic connection to a USAAF airbase seems to be lost on many.
Unfortunately we've now lost almost all those bases from an aviation point of view, so that makes the loss of Duxford for Legends much more of an issue to the whole raison d etre of the event, which I think will be lost at almost any other venue that they can move it to.
