I've got nothing against the 1DAs or other recasts by any means, it's just that the appeal of Big Finish to me personally is having the original actors returning to their roles. I don't mind it when, say, Elliot Chapman is just filling a gap in a cast of originals, but when it becomes predominantly a recast range, I lose interest, no matter how good it might be. I've never been much into tie-in media in general - I don't buy licensed novels or comics or what have you because I can't get past the idea that they're not the real thing. Big Finish feels like the real deal, and it's largely because they have the original cast. I also prefer The EAs, I've tried to get in to the 1DA with the new (old) 1st Doctor Team but I don't think it is for me. I cant warm to the overly clipped posh accents of Susan etc. I'm afraid that being from the colonies means the subtleties of accents are lost upon me and always will be unless Ian develops a Texas drawl, or the Doctor becomes an incomprehensible Newfoundlander.
