In Europe, having a single match final at a neutral venue adds to the spectacle but is also feasible for travelling fans. In North America, I think holding a single game final at a neutral venue isn't practical for travelling fans and having a single match at one of the competitor's ground isn't particularly fair. Personally, I'd prefer a two-leg final over the winner-takes-all spectacle.
