You make a very good point. Nothing adds cachet to something like the idea that it's somewhat exclusive (even if that's an illusion). The issue then becomes; are there any larger furry cons that would want to host the Ursa Majors exclusively knowing the drama that could easily bring. Those not going to said con would whine, smaller cons not asked would whine thinking they should have been considered, etc.
