Napa Valley or Edinburgh?

So I'm slowly getting over the crushing depression caused by the Boston Marathon already being full. I mean, am I really even ready to run a marathon in 3:40? Could I even do it? Did I train well enough? Will I ever be able to conquer this goal wearing the restrictive shoes of our generation? Surely I will be able to do this after I switch to barefoot running?

Originally, I assumed that I'd sign up for the DC marathon in March. I like it, I know it, it's where I PRed. But I'm kind of curious to do other marathons. There are a lot of spring and fall marathons, but you have to pick and choose them because it's not like I'm able to do them every other week (physical toll too high, finances too low). So I did some investigating and here are the two frontrunners:

Napa Valley Marathon
Edinburgh Marathon

Thoughts? Opinions? Please vote, which one is best?!?

(Oh by the way...London in out since I didn't get in the international ballot :( I'm striking out with the ones I originally thought I wanted)
