The difference between the AvA and your proposed 2 country format would be the plane sets. In the AvA, you are not limited by time period per se (set up range from Battle of Britain 1940 to Manchuria late 1945, depending on what is up at the time), but you are limited in that one side has allied rides and one side has axis rides. In your set up, the time frame would be set, and both sides would have full access to all available time-period aircraft.
So, in the AvA you will not have Spit vs Spit or 109 vs 109 combat. You could in the EW / MW arenas in a two team format.
Some have asked if the AvA is irrelevant with the EW arena, and IMO it is still the only place that allows any type of historic feel.
Long winded way of saying that I think your idea has merit if numbers continue to be low, without agreeing that it would in any way infringe upon the AvA arena.
