takahmamash, I don’t get your tefillin argument. In EY, (almost) nobody wears tefillin during Chol Hamoed. So in Ch”L, those of us who do wear tefillin wear them three or four more days than we would in EY.
I think having a second Seder is a major advantage of living in Ch”L. I’m usually too tired the first night to give it its due.
