One of the biggest things that made the World Championship so special and different from other tournaments, like super-regionals, was the opportunity to see and interact with FRC teams and robots, and by splitting the programs, the FTC championships immediately feel less big and magical. This doesn't mean I support two championships, but it does mean that if there are to be two, some presence of the whole progression of programs seems valuable.

Very true but I think a model like what Alamo does where the FTC super-regional held at the same time as an FRC event would be a better model then have both the FTC and FRC champs at the same location. This would allow FTC team to interact with FRC teams (and more of them) without the FTC game being totally overshadowed by the FRC game.
