This sounds like the best plan. Considering that Stars does have an interest in differentiating between the two series however a lot of alternative approaches can be sought - in formats (more mixed game and non-NL formats maybe, not that I'm any good in those haha), in depth and distribution, even introducing bracelets, watches as opposed to SCOOP(this year's) can be a difference to build on.
But the bottomline still is that a tiered series performs outstandingly. The 'biggest day in online poker' could never have happened during a one-tier high stakes only series. Not only does the tiered approach not diminish the prestige of the series, if anything it seems to be making it greater.
+ any rec/semi-reg player would love to get the experience of facing some crusher while playing the 1-200 $ M tourney which he satted into. And big names tend to trickle down to the M tier a lot (based on what I saw during this year's SCOOP)
Make WCOOP tiered, Luke! Let everybody have another fun month and beat your own 'biggest online day' in September
