I suspect it is to do with number of available entries (DD and GE both had 400 this year) and how and where they are advertised.
Great Escape is barely an Audax apart from in name. Ditchling Devil is known by all the London clubs these days.
The ACH rides are not marketed directly to cycling clubs as such, and entries are usually capped. I suspect that Cogidubnus Marcus JB's upcoming ride will feel like an Audax and Kingston Wheelers Rowlands RAAAmble will be like a massive club run.

Paul advertises it on the Cyclosport website, where all the sportives are listed, so bound to get some entries from there, from people who wouldn't normally go to Aukweb
