It's impossible to say. If Tessa & Scott were strapped for cash, it would be crazy. But as far as I can tell they're not, and Igor had so many teams at 4CC's that the tariff for shipping, housing & feeding a coach would not be prohibitive.
However, IMO it would have been easier and cheaper to do a Senior B with Marina and Andreev & Khokhlova in Europe if all they wanted was international feedback on the SD. Likewise, the judging while perhaps a bit inflated would have been a better take on what European judges would give the program.
I think she had managed to skate through pain before and thought she could do it again. And couldn't, or found she didn't want to take the risk for 4CC's.
