The "ideal" venue (if there is such a thing) would enable both:

The second factor is important, imho, because a fraction of local
newbies are going to be impressed by their IETF experience, and will
want to participate again in the future.  The may well become primary
contributors themselves down the road.

Is that hope for future participation by new attendees an acceptable basis for making venue choices that hurt current participation by primary contributors? What is the evidence that we will not gain that new participation without hurting current participation by primary contributors?
