I dunno, HRH always offered a wide cross section of bands including "AOR/melodic" artists. To actually have another event specialising in this particular genre does seem like an attempt to tap into the success of FF. For many it will come as great news to have other events like this but like Kieran said, from a purely financial perspective, some folks will be forced to choose. The significance of that remains to be seen. Fingers crossed it works out favourably for all concerned.
