I don't know why Sussex is not more popular in US. The light Sussex is possibly the most popular breed in UK. Sussex are a lovely breed....the perfect smallholders dual purpose breed...... Beautiful birds, good layers, good carcass, lovey mellow personality, great broodies.
I'm glad someone has brought some nicer Sussex into US.....I hope to be on the chap's waiting list later this year 
The only Sussex I used to have in bantam were the coronation......they were just the nicest little birds with really a nice size of egg. If you ever get the chance to import some decent Sussex bantam or otherwise please let me know.
