As for which base survives, I would expect considerable inter state bargaining to go on and let's say 'strategically released rumours' to the effect that one or the other has the inside running to create tension in any unofficial interstate bidding process. I think in the end it will be a cluster ^%# that will cost jobs and expertise. You cant buy or put price on having a vast knowledge base to draw on.
