UK is much easier for a US based team to organize an event, especially remotely, IMO Without a solid person on the ground in Berlin, it's still really difficult for a US team to do anything there. Berlin blows London away from a cost perspective (YC is ~rich, so the only relevant cost is hotel/etc for attendees who are non-local), and land-travel for a lot of people, but London probably has more local founders than Berlin, especially who know of and would be interested in YC/SS.
