Sonny wrote:I think if they hadn't knocked the original Wembley Conference Centre down and the Masters was still there and if the UK was still in Telford it would be a no-brainer and the Masters would be the bigger event. As it stands though, it's the UK for me but it's a close run thing.

If it was winner takes all £300k first prize, that would change a few things
