I think it's far too early to be arguing about this, if we have to argue about it at all. I stated my opinion earlier that, if both rooms are open at the same time, it's probably going to dilute our experience. That said, now that the 'closed' room has been established, I think a couple months down the road is when we should have a discussion over the merits of the two rooms. Right now, we have nothing but our preconceptions to offer, which is bound to make us rancorous. With some experience of some time with the two rooms under our belts, we should be able to have a measured discussion of their relative success.

Although I have my preference, I will be participating in both rooms and, I expect, will be enjoying what each has to offer.
