As for immigration times, I’ve queued nearly 3hrs last year at IAD and had plenty of connections shorter than that.
EDI's only year round connection is United to EWR & Delta to JFK (although that one does suspend in shoulder season) ?
Point is, SAS/Skyteam will continue to route through LHR (and MAN to a lesser extent for LAS/MCO) even if EDI gets pre clearance .
