Running two groups or one group is the same amount of work. At my peak of group running (which was mailing lists but same idea), I was juggling a dozen or so active groups and the biggest problem I ran into was occasionally mixing one group up with another temporarily. If you run two groups simultaneously, you can test out whether or not: a) closed group = large + high quality or b) public group = large + high quality The one that fares less well, you can either close or pass on to someone else to run and you can focus on your core group.
