One course or two?

One course or two?

I have a copywriting course that comes in two versions - one is written in American English while the other uses British English.

The course has many tutors, and we use an Enrolment Key for students to automatically assign themselves to a specific tutor.

In Moodle, should I show two courses on the introductory page, each its own Tutors, Groups and Forums?

Or should I have just one course, with each Topic showing a UK and a US course? In the latter case, you would see:

Module 1 - UK
Module 1 - USA

Module 2 - UK
Module 2 - USA

Etc.

The latter looks more untidy, but keeps all the Forums etc together. The former (using separate courses) is cleaner, but I worry that there would be less interaction and more admin.

If you have had experience of this dilemma, I'd be grateful for your thoughts. I have many courses to add to Modle, and I'd like to get it right first time.
